I was just wondering if the 16.5 military beadlock rims fit on regular 3/4 ton axles. the offset looks very different from stock wheels. im looking into a set with the magnesium runflats for mt offroad wheels but dont really want to have to run spacers. I currently have a d44 front and ff 14b rear. thanks

I've seen em on our trucks before so I know they'll fit, standard 8x6.5 bolt pattern. I would like to get a set myself with 35s or 36s for racing.

I know the H1 wheels will run fine on a DRWfront axle because of the offset front hub but on a SRW front axle i have been told they interfear bad with the turning radus because of the offset in the wheel. Thats why most everybody recenters the wheel with a new center to correct the offset problem. But other then that runem.

I was told they wouldnt work on a SRW unless you buy 2in spacers or have them recentered.

on the rear they work fine on SRW but they have to be either recentered on the front or run spacers to clear

I tried running them on mine but it wouldnt fit completely because of the brake calipers. I just reveresed them and ran 'em for a week till my new rirms came in.

I think you were told correctly.

They may fit on the rear of a SRW, but it sure would look silly.

Kert at www.diy4x.com recenters for $75 each. Can't beat that. I've got $127.50 each in a set of double beadlocks. Welded the rock rings in & they ran me $40 each. So $167.50 in each wheel WITH the rock rings. How you gonna beat that for a DOUBLE beadlock?
