Are all Military Hummer rims beadlocked or are some of them just like regular 16.5 rims?
Need to know tonight if possible.

all of them are made to be used with beadlock inserts. Does that answer your question? Without the insert it's not a beadlock but they're all made to be used with the insert.

As far as I know, they all used the beadlocks...just make sure you understand though...the beadlock/runflat is seperate from the wheel itself.

Are the rims 1 or 2 piece? The reason I'm asking is there is a guy selling Hummer rims and he was told they were Military ones, but they look like reg. rims.
Do you have a pic of the rim itself.

Reuben, got any updated pics of the truck? In one of the pics on your site I see that you cut off some of the tie rod mount to fit the hummer rims. Is that all you had to cut off?

All my pics are posted there. And yes the pic shows just a slight amount ground off the knuckle to mount the rim up with stock dual piston calipers. You will be unable to run a tierod in the stock location because of the rim, which will require high-steer arms.

I plan to make high-steer arms for it, but that will happen much later in the project. I have to see if behind the axle set-up will work with the link suspension I am building up front, but it's not looking good with the RC60 pinion in the way. ;)
