Thread: hummer rims for srw

    Default hummer rims for srw

    I have been researching rims to do a srw conversion when I can across a company called http://www.trailworthyfab.com/Custom-Hummer-Wheels/ They build custom H1 rims with any bolt pattern and a custom offset...They are dot approved beadlocks...I just need to figure out the backspacing now...

    Default awesome

    please keep us posted on your findings. i would like to do a full spare and maybe a whole new set of wheels for mine.

    the stockton wheels we had built are way out of round and take alot to balance, this might be the ticket we all are looking for here in the states.

    1 on that. I'd sure like to be able to get to 35 or so inch tires to get my rpm down at 60+ mph (2002 so 5.714 axle ratio).
    Perhaps if we got enough interest we all could do a group buy and save some money ?

    Do you have the specs for the stockton rims? If you do that would help figure out the back spacing

    from memory H1 rims are bolt-together 2-piece aluminium wheels with an internal beadlocking ring, i think manufactured by hutchinson. (lots use thier 20" rims in similar spec for unimogs). and theyre 16.5". what tyres would you plan on using, stock H1 37s?

    I know this thread is old, but has anyone had any luck with having Trail Worthy Fab make some wheels that would work with the Fuso??? I'd love to get up to a bigger tire size with the Hummer take-offs.

    Thanks,
    Mick

    So I checked with Andy at Trail Worthy Fab and he isn't able to make the H1 wheels work for my '97 Fuso FH with 6 lug wheels. If anyone knows of other sources for US made wheels please let me know. I've tried Rickson but I don't think they ever have anyone at their office - Voicemails and Emails have been ignored...

    Thanks,
    Mick

    1998 Fuso fg. Stockton wheels cracked while on vacation out west, and I was lucky to make it home. I had marsh racing wheels build two rear 17x8 to keep her mobile. I don't really know what direction I'm going with it now. Keep it singles or change back??? I'll worry about it after winter.
