HMMWV double beadlocks wheels on a Ford Superduty

Bella PSD.....Any new pics with the cut out flares on with these rims and tires?

I am now interested in running these wheels on my PSD, but I'm interested to know what 16.5 tires in a 37" are available and which have the best performance both on and off the road.

the original hummers 16.5 with 37 inch Goodyear MT. will take you anywhere . also those are MILITARY OZ tires ozone resistant witch means they could be 15 years old but no cracks on them

As far as removing the runflats, When I bought a set, I just used a reciprocating saw and cut them in half. Took about three minutes or so, then came right out. Replaced them with PVC.

those run flats have been useless from day one. i have 1 piece bead locks from AM GENERAL , not the aftermarket PVC ones

I heard the ride quality on the road isn't that great with the MTs. I do my fair share of time in the dirt, but also spend a lot of time on the interstate.

Just a question: It seems like it is alot of trouble to have the Hummer wheels recentered, then remove the run flat part, just to end up with a wheel that has a very limited tire size range. Wouldn't it be cheaper/easier/faster to just use a standard aluminum or steel wheel and get Staun internal beadlocks for them? They only run about $100 per wheel and you can get them for almost any size rim.

I just stumbled across this thread while searching for 17"x8.5" wheels with a min. 3000lbs load index.

An alternative to the 16.5"x8.5 HMMVV wheels may just be found from Hutchinson (#WA-1174)

I have been running the WA-0492 (G-Wagon) wheels for almost 4 years now and with my tyre pressure control system it´s been just perfect.
Especially since the system is 100% airtight and doesn´t deflate itself as the HMMVV system does.

I bought a set of wheels and tires from TWF for my Dodge. I am really happy with them, but I am also having a balancing problem. I am coming to the conclusion that these old military tires are impossible to balance. I am going to order a set of centramatic balancers and keep my fingers crossed.

I bet getting the PVC inserts out of the tires is also a big task. I have not tried yet, but I am not looking forward to it when these tires are worn out. I guess a sawzall and cutting the old tire is an option.

Here is a pic of my truck

Any results with the Centramatics?

He did not like the tires and got rid of them completely. I guess some balance issues. The price of h1 tires is tempting but in the long run I am not sure worth it.
