How do they fit? How far do the tires stick out from the body tub? Is there a clearance problem with the springs? Or any other clearance problems?

Would it be better to go with the hummer rims or have some beadlocks custom made. I like how the hummer rims keep the Jeep a little narrower.

I have 2 inch spacers and they seem to be fine from rubbing.

I am running a full width 14 bolt rear (67" WMS) and with the hummer rims I am just about exactly the same track width as stock (with 4" BS wheels).

On my front 44 (Chevy...69" WMS) I had to use 1" spacers to clear my high steer arms. The front (obviously) is 4" wider than the rear. Overall I'd say it leaves 3" uncovered on each side (I have Xenon TJ flares).

I love the hummer wheels, and tried to create interest in high steer arms that were made to clear hummer wheels for a 44.

I contacted a couple shops...Roggy, Wagoner and no one had ever thought of doing it. Personally I think there is a market since not only YJs, but XJs, TJs ZJs, WJS, EBs, Scouts and others have similar track widths......track widths that could use full size axles (no need for custom shafts) and hummer wheels.

How bad do your locking hubs stick out toward the edge of the rim. I've seen some with slugs (much lower profile than a locking hub) and they were still near the edge of the rim. Personally I got 32 bolt beadlocks from Allied so I was just wondering

Just adding my 2 cents. On my CJ7 I'll be running a full width 14 bolt rear with no mods, and a Dana 60 front cut down 4" on the driver's side (so I can use the stock spring perch on the pass side and the springs under the frame - not outboard) and 2" spacers to clear the steering and protect the hubs. Its in progress, but should work out great. The spacers are ~$200 a pair.

My front hubs are about flush with the wheels. I will try and take a measurement tomorrow and tell you for sure.

Have you had a problem with banging them on jagged obstacles? Seems like if it's flush with the wheel it could be a possibility, but does it really happen that often?

Tire width will also affect how exposed the hubs are. Please include that in your measurements.

But when your tire slips around a jagged rock off camber, and that rock then slides onto the wheel lip, it doesn't matter how wide your tire is.
