BrianZ06 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Looking for a set of 16x8 or 17x8 wheels to replace my stockers. Stock wheels are only 6.5 wide on these trucks:rolleyes: and I want to run a 285 75 16 or 17 tire. I know some people run this tire size on the factory wheel and just lower the tire psi down a little and i might do this but it would it better on a wider wheel. It is also an 8 lug.

BrianZ06 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 try brady @ppc I had them in mind actually. Probably get with him on monday. Not having much luck finding H2 Hummer wheels. Cant believe GM puts a 6.5" rim on a 2500HD 4x4 Crew Cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant believe GM puts a 6.5" rim on a 2500HD 4x4 Crew Cab. a 235/85 16 ply tire dont need alot of rim. the thinner heavier tires like that, seem to outlast anything. mine f250 is the same way. but with the aluminum wheels that are wider, and suv tires on it, it rides ahell of alot nicer, but dont like to carry as much weight.

Yep a lot of these guys buy these aftermarket wheels with out researching off sets first and end up with funky loooking set ups. I know a guy that has a real nice harley edition dodge hemi 4x4 and his aftermarket wheels stick out to far for my taste. That michelin is a nice tire but I should stay with 17's I like more rubber on the road with a big truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
