H3 Rims

the.silverbullet · 02-21-2009, 05:24 PM

I found a set of H2 rims for a real good price. My question is what modifications do i have to do to get them to fit on my 99 and how much will it cost. Thanks

seriously? Do you not know that H3 rims are 6 lug with a 5.5 pattern?H2 will fit with some milling but there is no cheap way or logical way to fit h3 rims on your 8 lug truck.

I miss typed that i ment H2 rims. Is there anyway to change the title.

oh hahaha i was hoping you mistyped. You have to mill out the center a little bit to fit the bearing lip. That is all you have to do. You can use a dremel for this.

i used a 1/2'' drill. i found if you spin the aluminum bits too fast, they clog up. i figured this out after my dremel and die grinder ate a couple

Thanks for the info.

So are our wheels hub or lug-centric?

They are LUG centric. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. I hate having this discussion. Sorry. No offense.

ANYTHING that uses a tapered seat (acorn) style lug nut, is lug centric. If it uses a flat nut and or a washer, it's going to be hub centric.
