the ads for them are all over ebay at really great prices...
how do they look on gen 2 trucks... do they have a weird offset.... are they metric? do they work?
35 bfgs and wheels for 600 or so (before shipping...which adds 175-200)sounds like a great deal

As far as I know the hubs on our trucks will not fit through those rims.

I have no idea about the lug pattern, it should be the same though, the H2 uses a 14SF in the rear.

Then again I could be wrong, just found this; Ebay

4" hub w/ 8 on 6.5"

I've got a set on my 86 k30. See the pics in my sig. I've got the 315/70-17 bfg ATs as well. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

The wheels and tires fit great. I am running a Skyjacker 4" lift. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
The specs on the H2 Wheels are:

<ul type="square">
*Wheel Size, 17 x 8.5
*8 Lug on 6.5" Bolt Pattern
*Back Spacing, 5-9/16"
*Wheel Offset, +20mm (Positive Offset)
*Hub-Hole Diameter, Aprox 4-5/8"
[/list]


By the looks of the trucks that have them installed, the extra inch (or so) of offset doesn't appear to be a problem. Anyone have any comments??


I've seen a bunch of these sell with tires (315/70r17 BFG AT's) for under $500 /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif.

If these will work then I'll buy a set and toss them on! /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif
 
I asked this on another forum and was told that you had to open up the holes 1/4 inch or less and they'll fit. I am very interested in doing this, so any further info is appreciated.
 
If you clean the rust off a 14 bolt ff hub they will fit with no modifications. The hole is for 3/4 ton GM's, so they fit like any other factory wheel on a 3/4 ton GM. I had my ford dana 60 front hubs turned down to match the 14 bolt OD, and now they work good on my ford axle too. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

Have you got drums or disks on the 14bff? I remember hearing somewhere that the H2 rims don't clear the drums. Any idea if thats true or not??

You do not need to open up the center holes. ALL GM 8 lug wheels have the same size center holes.
