My front end was lifted from the previous owner via torsion bars (maybe an 1" - 1.5" or so). Also, if using the HMMWV wheels, you will need a solid 2" Billet aluminum spacer (mybilletadapters.com) -Richard is who I used and got them to me pretty quick. High quality!

Are these the ones?

Is the spacer just so the wheel will clear the brakes and not rub on the suspension/frame?

That be them! I paid $200 including shipping from the other guy I mentioned.

The adapters are to correct the offset. The HMMWV are high offset hubs & the H2 is a low offset. The 2" corrects the backspacing to allow clearance for the calipers and to make the wheels sit flush with the body (not tucked inside fenderwells).

Are you going to get a set??

I'm seriously thinking about it. I was going to do the Cognito UCA's & torsion bars to try and fit 37's anyway. This solution is cheaper and I think it looks better than aftermarket wheels or painted stockers.

No need for beadlocks, correct? Did you have to get the wheels balanced?

These came mounted & balanced w/ runflats already installed in them. The bead locks are part of the 2 piece wheel. I haven't tried taking them off yet due to I'm afraid of losing air, plus I've only had these on a week now & been snowing or raining since then.
I'm actually at a tire shop as we speak having them check out the balance on one of my rear tires. Slight vibrations above 60mph.

My plans are to paint the wheels with Line-X to match my roof rack, ladder & front bumper.

I saw them online, they are absolutely awesome. How much did you pay for the new set with tires shipped?

Also I'm worried about the o-ring they mention going bad. I'm assuming its between both halves of the rim to hold the air??

I paid $975 for 5 wheels & tires all 100% new. Already mounted & balanced w/ run flats installed. Freight shipping from WI to St. Louis was $120 on 1 pallet (dock delivery).

I've only had these on for a week now so I haven't had a chance to find out more about them. I know the old style 8 & 12 bolt wheels had o-ring issues but haven't heard anything about the 24 bolt.

I recommend them!
