    Default New wheels ...

    I have a question. I'm not a tire guy so ... I have a new set of wheels 16.5x19.75" with the stock centers in them. Generous offset. Stock height vehicle.

    What size tire would you put on them?

    Looking at tires on this site ... Berg-Military-Tires

    Thinking about hummer tires ..

    Ur rims are 19" wide??


    Those tires will work. U could go a little larger. Like a 38-39

    Hummer tires can be bought a lot cheaper then other tires though.

    38 or 39 inch tires make these trucks look awsome.

    I really like the looks of the re-centered Hummer wheels and tires. They look like they were made to fit and they keep the military look.

    Another vote for hummer tires. 37 x 12.5 r16.5

    TrailworthyFab is one of the biggest, most reputable suppliers. There is a huge quality difference from different suppliers of used tires, so going with a known quantity is pretty important.

    I went with a set of 4 from trailworthyfab.com. 2 of the 4 were so-so. I ended up picking up a replacement for one at Berg Tire, when passing thru NC this summer.

    I understand that twf has great pricing on rims, and seen a set or two on this site, they look quality. I just didn't have that great of an experience with them.

    I got a set of the 36" bias ply hummers from twf a few years back, and they were great
    Thanks, George
