Hi Team. This is my first post. I picked up a 2013 4x4 police Tahoe 3:42 gears with 265 70 17 inch steel wheels and tires.
Ques 1. I was looking at the 16.5 Humvee rims they appear to be 8.25 wide with a 7 inch set back. I noticed that the factory wheels run with 25-27mm offset. The military rimes have the 8 bolt pattern. I was thinking if I run 2 inch adapters 6 lug to 8 bolt pattern they might work. Iam thinking 7 inch set back would be 75 mm offset on a 8 inch rim. Minus the 50mm spacer puts the wheel right about the same.
I see in other posts and forums anything under 17 inch will rub the brake components but not sure if anyone has experience with this set up.
Ques 2. I found some nice 33 and 34 inch tires for the rims. I hear you should run the bead locks on the 16.5 rims so you can run them low on air. any feedback on that would be great.
I looked at the black rhino armory wheels as they look military but would rather use the hummers if I could. You can pick them up for $35 each. I was thinking a 3 inch BL with a leveling kit would work with the 33 or 34 tires. Thanks in advance for any help. Larry
