CUCV 8 lug wheel specs?

[handloader90]

Hello,

I wanted to know what the specs of the CUCV 8 lug wheel.

Are they 16" or 16.5"? Width, Backspace and Center Bore diameter?

The wheels would be mounted on a Dana 60 and 14BFF. I'm thinking about picking up some of those 37x12.50x16.5 hummer tires and want to know if it's safe to mount them on the CUCV 8 lug wheels and if everything will clear properly.

Also, where's a good place to source them for cheap?

cucv wheels are 16" only and around 7" wide if I recall.

so if 37" hummer tires you need different rims.

Yep. CUCV's used standard GM 16x6.5" steel rims. Backspacing was somewhere past 4".

Thanks for the info. Does anyone know where I can get some cheap steel 16.5x8 or 16.5x10 wheel with the 8x6.5 lug pattern.

Find a set of stock GM 16.5' steel wheels. They are on 6.5" or 6.75" wide, but they have a safety bead on them.

Wish someone would have shown me that 6 or so years ago.
