Thanks! It took me two years to find someone that could mount the tires on the wheels. Had to take it to a big rig shop for them to manually mount them took 4 guys and 4 hours.

So I understand what you're saying... but I still dont get it, you mean you couldn't find a shop with big enough balls to be able to mount and balance 37" tires on 12" wide wheels????

It doesn't seem to be that huge of a deal unless they were telling you otherwise.

Either way you have a killer looking H2 and job well done putting it together.
Right on!:beerchug:

LOL Im glad were on the same page roushdemon. So I went to probably 7-8 different shops and they all told me that the drop center on the wheel where the tire bead goes when they are mounting the tire isn't deep enough, so when they went to mount the tire they couldn't stretch the bead of the tire on. The tire has a 17' bead and the drop center was like 16' when it should bee like 15' or 14" so in other words normally it wouldn't be an issue but someone at weld racing had a brain fart. Bad wheel design = PITA to mount. Its a O.E.M hummer rack.
