Another tire question? What size tire will fit my military rims?

[Trav0302]

When I bought my truck it came with a set of 3 piece run flat rims. The rims measure 10" width X 17 1/2" tall. Looking for were to buy tires for these rims. I haven't been able to find a place to search by rim size any ideas? For the heck of it I'm posting some pics of the rims.

There 9" 16.5 with a wicked back space. You can run just about any 16.5 tire.

Thanks for the correction I'm sure that will make a difference.

These are "8 Bolt" MHHV / Hummer H1 rims. You'll want new o rings for them also. Most people ditch the runflat part and substitute in a PVC insert. Lighter and better at low pressures.

What kind of truck were these on?

All I know is they came with my 74 f250 not on but with. Any idea were to get the pvc inserts?

Trailworthy fab has every thing you need including tiers.

You will most likely need to re center or run spacer to clear steering springs and brakes. These wheels in stock for will narrow your track width.

IIRC the standard size tire on our HMMWVs were 37's so you can definitely run a big tire on there.

Not sure when they phased out the metal inserts, I know when I was in the Balkans ('97-'98) we had our replaced with a thick rubber disc. Quieter and safer.
