im running 37' goodyear MT on 16.5 wheels with 4.5 backspacing. whatcha wanna know?

the pros of this setup are the tires are CHEAP! and its got a descent tread. so far i like em, but they do tend to dig, which isnt the best on sand. also the sidewall tread is non-existent, but that hasnt been an issue ...yet.

the cons of this setup is the 16.5 wheel. a 16.5 wheel does not have a safety lip like a 15 or 17 inch wheel would have.
iv been reading up this week into beadlocks and recentered hummer wheels seem the best bang for the buck. im still researching but from what i gather
a beadlocked 16.5 is the same diffrence as a 17 wheel with a safety lip. both help you air down but if you still can lose a bead if you push it to far.

you can get a 16.5 beadlock for cheap but if you want a double beadlock he sells pvc inserts which pinches the inner tire aswell. if you get the pvc insert tho, your talking a pretty penny to air down.

I saw that. I can get the tires here in GA for about 350 for 4 with 90% tread. It seems like the wheels would be a little cheaper that they sell them for. I am mostly cusious to find someone running those wheels on their H2. Are you going to get some?

For $1500 for 5, I could buy 5 37 12.5 17s. I dont do any offorading where I would air down. She's not pavement princess, but she is close.

best and cheap and they sell wheels with it.
my only issue with them was the wheels they sent me were white and i had to rattle can em. so if you buy from him tell them you want them black like there advertised.
