Will 16.5" wheels fit?

07Bighorn · 07-27-2009, 04:25 PM

Tires for 16.5" rim..36" & 37" tires.

I just ran across these and would love to buy a few sets and be able to run them... anyone know if a 16.5" wheel will fit or if these military tires can be stretched to a 17" wheel?

I have a buddy that ran 16.5" wheels and the hummer tires on his 04 2500 HEMI. He had to use 3" wheel spacers to clear the calipers. It looked kinda of funny because the tires stuck out so far. I'll see is I can find some pics. He also had a 3in body lift and leveling kit. He went through balljoints like crazy due to the extra stress on them cause of the wheel spacers.

That tire is JUNK I would run the 37's before I would ever run the 36's again but don't believe they will fit the later truck's due to caliper's if you want a Really nice 16 tire let me know.it's a 325-85R16
