has anyone ran these on their rig that aren't recentered? I have a 70 Blazer with 3/4 ton axles and am wonderong if they will clear.
Oics would be great. Thanks

They will hit the knuckle where the tie rod mounts.
Either recenter them, run spacers (2" should do, measure to make sure), or swap in some DRW one ton axles.

What's DRW?

joe231 · 01-16-2014, 07:38 PM

Dual rear wheel

Meh, I am not a fan of the Hummer wheel trend that has been going around as of late. Heavy wheels with horrible offset that require $$$ adapters to make them fit. Not worth the hassle in my opinion.

$100 for spacers
$400 (or less) for wheels and PVC inserts.
They are heavy but they are nice for a trail rig.
And I already have a set of 4:56 geared DRW one tons.
I picked up a set of 12 bolts with 37 inch radials for $50 then spent another $125 on new nuts and valve stems. They also have the flat rubber inserts (not run flats)
Then my son picked up a set of 8 bolts with the biased ply 36's for just under $300, and bought new 2" spacers for $100. Hard to beat those prices.

I can get the wheels real cheap that need to be recentered. I don't want to run spacers. You can buy the centers and do it yourself or have it done. Still pretty reasonable if you want to air down for off road. I was just curious if you could get by without recentering. Now I know. Thanks.

Look at http://www.rockmonsterwheels.com/ they are the same style beadlock but better looking and a 17.Or a totally different beadlock http://www.badwheelsinc.com/store/

im pretty sure they fit on a stock d44. it will suck the tires way under the fenders and look ridiculous. get 2.5 spacers for the front and 3" spacers for the rear and it will look presentable. and you get a very durable and strong double beadlock for rock crawling.

if youre not utilizing the beadlock, i think its a waste of time to get them to fit.

I know for a fact they hit the knuckle on a Dana 60.
I dunno why anyone would want to run them on a 10 bolt or a Dana 44
