just got these put on the other day, look awesome and ride decent...having some balancing issues right now, might have to add some more airsoft pellets to the mix and see how it goes, otherwise im in love with them. :bow::bow:

Some fender trimming is definitely in store...
 
I'd like to see a straight on picture of those rims...

The tires certainly look good!

running 6" of lift and it clears the tires no problem without cutting anything on the road, but i am going to be doing some fender trimming so i wont have any clearance issues off road.

I can imagine. I have just about the same wheel set up, except I have the pressed centers, and also some re-bar rings welded onto the back of the wheel to act as a rock ring there. I talked to the manager at my local discount tire, and he agreed to throw my bare wheels up on the balancer to check them out. They had some slight balance issues .. without the tire.. LOL, but nothing crazy. My hope is that when I run them, I'm able to get them close enough to live with. Sometimes you have to give a little to gain a lot. As long as they're not shaking the fillings out of my teeth I'll be happy with 'em. Heres some shots of mine before I powder coated them.

USA 6x6, and mostly without issue. I got 4 really quick, and the last one took a little while... don't remember how long exactly... maybe a month or slightly more. I had them recentered at creative engineering off road near Houston.

still loving them, i ended up adding more air soft pellets to them and the balancing seemed to be better now.
 
Are those 38.5/16-15 bias ply's? They look different than mine and I can't figure out why...
Are they on a 15x10 rim?
 
hummer rims are 16.5" dia. and more narrow then a 15x10... i think it is somewhere around 8-8.25, not to sure on the width thou
