Question Hummer Rim ?

I know a couple of guys on here run Military style H1 rims on their rigs I also know that there is a back space issue,I have recently come across a source for both tires and rims and wanted to know what the process was for correcting the back space issues.

You have to cut the centers out of the rims. Then get some new centers made, mine were cut out of 3/8 plate on a CNC waterjet. The guy that built them had a jig made up so he could set the backspacing to whatever you wanted. I run mine down the road at hwy speed with no problems at all. Good luck finding someone to do it for you though, unless you're gunna do it yourself.
