I searched and found tons of info on hummer wheels, but didn't see this one covered.

Anyone know the Torque spec for these wheels? (for the outer rim) Don't want to rip a stud off by accident.

I'm using the 8 bolt Bias ply version.

Just finished cutting out the centers and welded new centers I bought from 66CJDean. Backspace now is 3.75".

Thanks for any info :)

So, you gonna be ready for Dixie? How much you got in yer Hummer rims total. I am trying to figure out what I am going to do for wheels and tires myself.

I did get my 14 bolt and Dana 60 FINALLY. Got the Detroit on the way for the 60 and the 14 bolt already has one...

Welcome to the big axle club! Bout time!..ahhaha :D.

I'll be ready by next weekend! Going to Paragon. Definately going to Tellico again this year with yall! The 13 + hour drive sucks, but oh well.

I bought 5 hummer wheels with the Mag runflats for $350 Total.
Then got 5 new centers for $50 each including ship. So, basically, $600 for 5 beadlocks. Cut out the centers and welded them in with my own labor, so that was free for me :)
Cheapest beadlocks out there that I can think of...

I obviously haven't gone out and tested these wheels yet, but I'll let you know how cool the hummers are when I do.

Torque spec for the 12 bolt radial rim is 125. I don't know about the 8 bolt. I just tighten till the gap is closed and if it stars deforming the metal I back off a bit, Works for me even @ 65MPH
