Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
Yea like I said, they fit with the Rancho and Truxxx kit, but the spacing from the top of the tire and fender flare looked stuffed to me. Feel free to give me a call with any questions Mark.

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
i was just looking at that rancho 4" lift kit. it says you cant use the stock wheels with the kit? why is that?

Bimmer9938 10-24-2011 04:02 PM

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
I think cause it utilizes taller spindles (or steering knuckles) that would normal fit inside the wheel barrel so an aftermarket wheel with a lower offset would fit next to it. The Ranch is higher then 4" btw, they just market it that way.

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!

Refer to my earlier post. Backspacing is more important than offset. These two are often confused.

ok, but most wheel companies that i have seen only offer 2 different offsets. that why i refer to what offset to get.

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
i have the green keys for my hummer, how much will those lift the front end before the ride just goes down hill? can i get 3" of lift out of it or is that too much? im thinking about getting 2" rear shock spacers and then leveling the truck off. and i think it will be around 2 1/2" -3" that the green keys will have to go up. if i can only get 2" of lift, ill go with 1.5" shock spacers for the rear. any opinions?

You're right. You have to ask for backspacing. The bastards never list it.

is a -25 too much of a offset for a hummer? im looking at getting these wheels possibly, but i dont know how this offset will look. they say this is the only offset that comes in these wheels. i dont have the backspacing but i have a hub bore. its 130.81. can you help me out?

Just a couple quick cell phone shots of my truck. I'll have better pics once I get the new wheels and tires and all the other parts I have are installed.

Nice!! I'm assuming Fabtech lift? And what wheels and tires are you moving to?

bigmikey82 10-31-2011 10:04 PM

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
Yep, Fabtech lift w/dual hoop shocks up front. I'm getting some 22" fuel hostage wheels with 40x15.50 mud grapplers. The wheels and tires on there right now are too small.

tyler1bo 11-01-2011 03:26 PM

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!

Not in my opinion. I'm running -44mm. most 20x10s are -24mmissshhhh... So you're right on the money.
