8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a set of factory H2 Hummer wheels sitting in a corner in the shop. I need to pull these out and check the pattern. Someone might be able to use these on one of their trucks.

Those H2's will fit any 8-lug chevy from 67ish to 2010...i have them on my 2005, and am thinking about putting them on my 71 (stock 2500HD's on there now) when the rubber is low enough for "dry" traction only.

Does anyone make a 17" or 18" steel 8 lug wheel that is, say, about 8" wide? I want to put a larger wheel on my 71 C20 and combine that with low profile tires and a 3/5 drop. I am painting the truck either the original dark green with a satin finish or black with the same finish. I want to paint the wheels the same color and then put chrome beauty rings and baby moons on. Just curious at this point.

Doug,

Where did you find those wide steel rims and the crome caps? I have been looking for a set of those for my Gmc Longhorn to put on the rear.

The center caps are out there... took me a few months to find them. I got the caps from PICKMUP on the board, then painted them. Caps are stainless. I've seen them on Ebay too - from time to time.

Rims - they are kelsey hayes, I found them locally. Hard to find... but worth the search.

Doug,
Stance is just right! Are they 16.5x9.75's? What size tire and how much lift?
Killer look dude! Thanks for sharing.

Yes, you are correct on wheel size. Tires are 33s, with a 3-4 inch lift (not exactly sure on lift - I think it's near 4 inches. Fit's in the garage, tires don't rub! Wheels are kelsey hayes.

Thanks!
