I have heard many people talk about using hummer wheels, and I am not sure if I should believe all I hear about them...heres what I am pretty sure about
-16.5" rim
-about 9" wide
-2 different styles, don't know what exatly is different
-8x?? bolt pattern
-2 piece/beadlock design??
-lots of backspacing

Does anyone have info to add to this? How would these rims be on a YJ with full width axles? Can any 16.5" tire be run on these rims? Any other +or-??

I think the main benifits are the 7" or so of backspacing and 16.5" diameter. This allows it to fit over 1-ton brakes real well and with the beadlock not have to worry about problems associated with most 16.5 wheels.
