Yes You just have to open up the center so they will fit over your Ram hubs.

I just went down and looked at a Hummer, what do you do with the center piece that says Hummer on it? If you throw it away does the wheel look ok under that piece?

Most guys use the Dodge center caps on the H2 rims.

it is a good idea if you have the limited slip differential... [unless you like putting spare on front, then front on rear]

if you have the open rear diff, it won't make much difference..

check my page too for pics of H2 wheel and as far as the open diff to the limited slip these rears dont use clutch type diffs so its not as a big a deal as it use to be since u wont burn clutch material but still a better idea to put on the front

When you say open up the center, are you saying that one would need to take the rims to a machine shop to enlarge the hole or are you saying you just can't use the Hummer center cap?

Thanks

Open up the actual center of the wheel, many have done it with a 4.75" hole saw. OEM H2 wheel has a 4.50" center bore. You can use the Hummer caps on the front but not on the back due to the hub being too long. Use your Dodge center caps their much better looking anyway. Trim 7/8 of an inch of the plastic cap and cut or grind just a little off of the metal clips that secure it to your lugnuts, then enjoy.

Thanks for the info Dan. I guess I better not try it as I'll end up enlarging the hold on an angle, or something worse.
