Anyone fitted H3 wheels?

[Arya Ebrahimi]

Hey guys,

Was wondering if anyone had fitted H3 wheels. They're 6x5.5, 16" in diameter, and 7.5" wide, so they 'should' fit, but I don't know if the center bore will work.

Also, the offset as found on several Ebay auctions is +38 mm According to my math that's equivalent to 4" of BS so they should stick out 1" further than stock, correct? 1/2" less BS + 1/2" wider wheel = 1" further out, am I wrong?

[EDIT] Sorry guys, my math is wrong. It looks like these wheels have 5.25 BS so that means they would stick .25" further out and .75" further in. I was considering running spacers anyway, so this could be accounted for.[/EDIT]

Reason I ask is because they are dirt cheap and might look cool if there is a way to get rid of the "HUMMER" print embossed in the center caps.

So anyone tried it?

uh, wouldn't your 80 reject them like a bad heart transplant? I'm envisioning all four being forceably thrown off the vehicle at speed...

stock FZJ80 wheels are 16x8", not sure how you are getting wider out of that? throws the rest of the match off.

Doh, I thought they were 16x7

Doh, I thought they were 16x7

I think the FJ80 wheels are 7 wide but those are 15x7, maybe that is where you got the 7?


The stock FZJ80alloys have 16x8 cast into one of the "windows" of the wheel,

Centerbore is too small and the backspacing is worse than stock Cruisers especially combined with the narrower rim. Another issue you might run into is that they aren't rated for enough weight. Probably they are enough for a stock Cruiser but maybe not for a loaded one. I was also under the understanding that H3 wheels were a weird bolt pattern and not the old Chevy/Toyota/Nissan 6 on 5.5. I just wouldn't do it.
