Good comment about being lug centric, unlike Ford's rims. Thanks for the pic. It looks like I found my method of modification.

 

NC,

I wrote a little procedure on how to modify the H2 wheels with a Hole Hawg drill and 4 3/4" hole saw. Similar to what Bertram is showing. This method is quick and easy. But you have to be careful operating the drill. GO SLOW and let the drill chatter around in the hole as the 4 3/4" size is a little small. The drill centers itself in a recess in the front of the wheel. I cleaned up the holes after the cut with a 2" drum sander in a small electric drill. Be sure the wheel easily fits over the raised center on the axle flange as the nuts center it. If the hole is not large enough or is off center too far this could be a severe stress point. Later, when new tires go on these wheels, and balancing is done, the wheels will be centered on the balancer with the small taper on the front side of the center hole. Be sure to leave some of this taper for balancing purposes.
Have fun, you'll love the new wheels!

The rims are lugcentric. Front and back. I don't know the implications of oversizing the center hole but I just wanted to make that clear.

H2 rims and tires are awesome!!!!!

 

So you don't have to alter the height with a lift kit to use this combo and you can run the 315s? What width wheel are the hummers? Don't you have to have the hubs cut out to fit the Dodge?

Yes, the 315's fit without a lift... just barely, but they DO fit and clear fine (no rubbing) in most cases. Many guys are putting the 2" leveling kit to complete the look, but it isn't neccessary to have the lift for the 315's to fit (mine is stock height and don't rub). I believe the Hummer wheels are 8.5" wide... someone correct me if I'm wrong on that. Yes, you do have to cut the Dodge caps to fit, but that is child's play compared to drilling through the wheels. A table saw and belt sander will make quick work of the caps... I did all four of mine in an hour, and it was EZ!

 

Ok,..what's wrong with this picture. I had a new set of 315s ordered and had them mounted on some 10" Americans and it was a no can do! Was my problem the width of the wheel or the offset? Does anyone know the offset on the Hummer wheels? I can get the same Americans in 8" and have been looking at 285R70X17 in the AT KOs.

 

The H2 wheels are 8 1/2 inch wide and the backspacing is about 5 1/2 inches. They fit PERFECT (after center modification) with the 315's, no rubbing, stock height. Just to be clear on the concept here, let me repeat this. Perfect fit.
If you don't like the H2 style you could always get other wheels that match the H2 sizing and you would get a, ready?, perfect fit. In other words they are a perfect fit. Did I mention they are a perfect fit? Maybe not so here goes, they are a perfect fit. And in case anyone is curious, they fit perfectly. Oh yeah, and they don't rub, they look cool, they are inexpensive, they four wheel excellent, they run smooth on the highway, they wear well, and they have one other great quality, they fit perfect.

so why is everyone posting a picture of their truck w/H2 wheels? He doesn't like them

 

Coolslice, you get those Helo's yet? I'm thinking of them w/ 305 Goodyear MT-R. Anyone have any comments about my tire size/choice?

 

I want to get the same wheels as you but get Nitto TG 295's. If you find what backspacing works please post. Also do you know what the load rating for the Maxx8's are?

 

4.5 BS is way to wide but a few like it, 6.12 bs is what I have.......

 

G'day guys,

How do I post a picture with my post?

Dont forget Im from downunder so talk slow.....

Heres a pic of my new RAM with the 2inch lift and 35inch tyres...
