I need some 8 lug wheelies to move my 1 tons around when they arrive............spotted a screaming deal of 4 rims 16.5" with rotted out tyres £10.......
(my sort of money) :icon_twisted:
Thing is? Can you get 16.5" rubber in Blighty?
Or should I pass on this? :icon_super:
-
if u do pass then point me in the direction please
ya lookin at hummer tyres for the road, or mega bucks, my 44's are around £500 a corner from devon 4x4
-
Will do....... but these are skanky Dodge pick up rims from an ex air base truck ..... not wide enough for nice biggggg tyres
Just want to put metric 33-35s (remold junk) on them for getting to events.......
-
cheers, but im thinkin that i will run some 37" a/t (hummer again) to get me to places such as cheapfest, then will put on the 44 boggers when i get there, but 33's may make more sense if i cant find big enuff wheels
dont suppose u have a link for a list of trucks with 8 stud at 9/16"? Everytime i search on fleabay nowt comes up

How about modding the centres of and old set of Steel rims?
-
Modding???? Tis a bit grown up for a joiner :jpshakehead: ...... Methinks that will be your area of expertise :icon_super:
Were you thinking of turning 5 on 5.5s or 5 on 4.5s to 8 lug or making spacer adapters ???
Hey Bulldog you must be reading my (what's left of it ) mind....... 33s to get to Cheapfest and 39.5 or similar for mayhem when there :icon_twisted:
44s on the CJ or a FSJ?
-
44's already on the J20

Found this one, may be a clearer pic:

Well I'm envious :011: Think they might look a tad tooooo big on the YJ tho!
-
his will last longer than yours too
-
Not sure if that's due to my driving style you witnessed..... up a tree? :jpshakehead:
or just maybe the 'occasional' use of the J10 by BD????? :icon_twisted:
-
both have there merits realy wish there was a vid of the tree moment it was worth watching

well i do occasionally get the covers off, jump in the cab and wonder would it will drive like when the 360 is in :003:

death wobble at a chance
-
Must have been a 'red mist' moment or not having the doors on for the first off roading this year........
Was only afterwards that I thought of all the time I've spent putting winches at both ends..... and why was it that I chose not to use them :jpshakehead:
-
death wobble at a chance
that requires speed does it not? cant see me doin any of that in the J20
-
it can kick in almost at any speed a hump or ropple in the road can set it off if the wheels and the lift are good all may be well

Just throwing the idea out there? What's that PCD of the 8 lugs? Couple of thoughts I have are; 1- lathe centres out of a old set of 16's and replace the centres with new machined ones? 2- Remove the centres of the eight lug rims and fit them to a set of 16's?
It will take time patience to get spot on trueness. But interesting....
-
Similar to a 'Pirate' thread then? New centres in old wheels..... Like turning H1 wheels from 7" backspace to 4 " backspace with new centres....Yes I like it.... Just need the wheels now...
Also "seen" for sale £600..................
4 Hummer H2 wheels and tyres
They are the alloy ones in a 17" flavour but with a 5" backspace 8.5" wide and with 315x70x17 AT which equals 34.6" tall
Trouble is all the affordable big mudders are 16" flavour :jpshakehead:
-
something we did on the beach buggy was to use truck wheels on the back and made adaptor plates the convert 6 stud to 4 stud, might be worth investigating

just a bit of free info about hummer alloys a lot of them fracture in the rim so if you get a set make sure you check em,the hummdinger is on its 3rd set due to them fracturing after hitting pot holes

Gonna pass BD so here is the ebay link for the Dodge wheels going in an hr £10
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250691402032&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1154 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250691402032&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1154)
Just got myself some H2 wheels with ATs 4 of them for £500............. bloke wanted £800 they didn't sell :jpshakehead:
-
Cheers Jez, bit far for me, even at a £10
-
can you get blank hubs and re drill the bolt positions to a more suitable rim pcd
-
I know that in USA via 'Pirate 4x4 forum" that they get centres cut for them and re-centre H1 wheels to get less backspace from the 7" that they come with.
So I can't see why we couldn't get any type of 16" rim and get 8 lug centres cut to recentre the rim to get the correct 8 lug pattern

u wanna consider 38 monster mudders? i removed the chemical warfare shroud off the J20 today and it turns out my memory is fucked and its runnin 38x15x16.5, if my bro turns it down )& that looks likely) i will punt it on ebay as it is (360 & gearbox & transfer, dana's 44 & 60, + the tyres + blah blah boring bits), but if dont sell high enuff i will be breakin it. I know that is 3rd choice (unless u wanna buy it as it is :003: ) but they will be available by then
