does anyone make a 16.5 wheel that will fit the 6 lug chevrolet axle?.... would likek to run a set of cheap hummer tires. can this be done?

Impossible. Never been done before.:smokin:

Have you tried a wheel store?

I have never seen, let alone heard of these. I think your only shot would be buying blanks and having them drilled.


micky

i think it would be a good thing if a manufacturer would do it...get to run 36-37" hummvee tires which are plentiful and cheap. how hard could it be to design and stamp out some?

Centerline makes them. My buddy had 4 :eek: on his lifted Z71

i'm pretty sure they were available "back in the day" as an option, but i dont think they're too common

yeah they make 16.5 for 6 lug, i have a set, aluminum

Yeah I have a set of the centerlines, Had to custom order them thru Discount tires paid 90/wheel (way too much) they don't have much backspacing and they fawked my order the first time, so make sure they get it right. mine are 6 on 5.5 lug spacing. The worst part is that 16.5" wheels all have a totally different beading method than every other size. read-DO NOT AIR DOWN THE HUMVEE TIRES! and don't let any jackass try to tell you you should/can beadlock 16.5" wheels-it doesn't work! But I like cheap tires too thats why I got some 16.5s on my yoat.:smokin:

Apparently you do not understand the function of a beadlock.

If you beadlock 16.5" wheels you should look at a staun setup or double beadlocks.

I dont know how you feel about adapters but they do make those.

Check out some of the kledermann air ride trucks, they run adapters to install 22.5 semi wheels. (8 to 10 lug) I saw it with my own eyes on the Hot Rod Power tour in 05. They build some sweet shit. I just dislike the whole airbag idea for off road trucks.

why? Thats all I run(ok am trying to get finished on two of the vehicles:D ). My dd 94 W250 has airbags all the way around and it is driven gravel roads in the woods most of the time. All winter long its burried up to the hood in snow wheeling. It doesnt go "extreme" becuase I drive it every day. Most of my buddys dd are bagged, but there street trucks. Whats do you dislike about it? Not being a dick, but just wondering if I have missed an angle on the airbag stuff.

might sound odd but i saw these in the junkyard... it was a set of 16.5" wheels off a skidsteer. they were 6 lug but I'm not sure if the pattern was the same as regular automotive axles or not... different direction for you to look in though..

here's some on ebay
