H2 Hummer wheels & 315's on my HO

I'll try to attach a couple of pics of my '03 2500 4X4 with H2 wheels and BFG 315's installed.

I think these have about perfect backspace (5.5) with the 315's. There seems to be plenty of room between the inside of the tire and the lower control arm and no signs of rubbing. The mods require access to a CNC machining center to keep everything centered properly so balance isn't messed up. These are a very in-expensive way to get 315's on an 8.5 in. wide wheel that also looks great. I've only got about $690 in the whole set with new take off tires/wheels including re-mounting/balancing. I'm sure some of the polished or chromed H2 accessory wheels can also be modded the same.

What needs machining to make them work?

last one with the stocker by it's side. I have 373's and don't much notice the extra size. I still have my stockers to use if I want to tow heavy & need the reduction in the Rockies.

The center bore needs to be opened up to clear the front & rear hubs. I also opened up the hub-cap bore to use the Ram cap. You can't use the H2 caps on the rear because the hubs stick out. I thought of ways to adapt the H2 caps but it seemed like more trouble that it was worth.

Way nicer than the stockers. I like that the backspace isn't excessive like a lot of other aftermarket ones.

Do you have a front-end leveling kit on the truck? I would like to put the same wheel/tire combo on my 2003 4x4.

No leveling kit and it doesn't look like it will rub anywhere. It also looks more level than stock with the 315's but I'm sure thats just an illusion. I was thinking about taking one of the spacers out of the rear instead to level it a little.

Do you have a ballpark idea of what the machining would cost. You obviously have access to such equipment, but a few of us don't. Thanks for the pics and info, looks great.

Search in this section for Hummer wheels to find the posts by Dra7.

I'd suggest you PM him, he has better access to the machines required and is considering offering them.

Looks awesome.... I like the stance. I'm waiting for my 315's to arrive. Looks like I may have to keep an eye peeled for a Hummer!!
