i have had several people pm me or ask in another post how i am running stock humvee rims so i will do my best to explain.
Frt end: the frt is easy. i am running a d60 frt that i converted from single wheel to DRW. all i did was swap hubs. although other members on this board say u have to swap brake roters i did not.
rear axle: in the rear i took a dually D70 HD axle. we peeled the normal DRW hubs off of it & replaced them w/ SRW hubs off of a 14 bolt. the difference in the hubs is the SRW ones have the wheel mounting surfgace approx. 2" wider than the dually ones. so by swapping the hubs i widened the wms-wms by approx 4". this made a wide axle even wider. the hubs are a bolt on deal no mods were needed.
**u will have to run disc brakes in the rear if u swap hubs. u will also need the weld on style disc brake bracket because by swapping hubs u get a unique spacing between the hub & the mounting flange for the drum backing plate. as far as i know no one makes the bolt on style bracket that will work**
by doing this to my axles i made the rear a 1/2 inch wider than the frt DRW 60. if i remember correctly my axles are about 77" wide.
my truck is only 1" wider set up like this than it was when i was running SRW axles & 16.5x9.75 rims with 4.75" backspacing.
it has been awhile since i did this mod so my measurements on the hub offsets may be a little off, but i know it works.
i will post some pics tommorrow.
if i left anything ouut, or u got a question let me know. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

SRW rear hub w/ tape measure on it. it reads 1.75" from the WMS to the flange where the axle bolts in.

pic of how far my tires stick out past the fenders w/ this set up
here are some measurements i know are true on my axles
1.SRW d60 wms-wms 69.5"
2.my d60 after changing to DRW hubs wms-wms 76.75"
3. my D70 after changing to srw hubs wms-wms 77.5"
4.srw 14 bolt hub wms to flange where axle bolts in 1.75"
