H2 Hummer wheels ~ will they fit....

.... on a 1st Gen 4x4?
I looked thru the FAQ sticky. If I missed it I apologize.
The H2 wheels are 8-lug

Not sure on first gen, but I bought a set of Mickey Thompson wheels for my 04 that were on a Hummer, H2 I think, did not see the vehicle, guy met me with them int he back of a truck. They are a bit more off set than I would prefer.

They fit with a small amount of machining to open the hub a little bit. A few others here have done it. I'm sure their eyes will catch this thread and they'll inform you of what exactly needs to be done.

Thanks. I'm also not sure what could be done with the center caps. At first I was thinking maybe some top-hats, but I dunno I may pass. I really don't think that would look right. The price seemed right....

Not my truck so I don't know if they had to use spacers or anything like that

This IS my truck, but it is a 2wd, so probably not a lot of help. I had to run 1/4" spacers to clear the upper control arms.



I think they look fine without caps myself. I've seen the 3rd gen guys modify their stock caps to fit.

You had use the spacers also?
I assume they're the same bolt pattern, you just needed space, not so much adapter?
I tried looking at that turbodieselregister thread but since I'm not registered there it would only let me see the very first post. Ugggg. I really don't want another password to remember, I'm happy staying here. But, I get the idea.
My only objection is the spacers. I've never had a warm and fuzzy feeling about those. Plus, they're pretty darn pricey.
I had to put a set on my 69 C-30 dump truck to get newer one piece wheels to fit. But, I always worried about them whenever I hauled anything.
