H2 PHOTSHOP with H1 Alpha Wheels

[BACKNBLACK]

I created this to see if Id like it on my H2, Opinions. My H2 is black BTW I just like the Picture.

Or this, I love the Sedona, this is a photoshop color, but close. This one looks AWESOME in my opinion. Does anyone know if the H1 wheels will fit the H2???

Rescue Green (for the Jeepers) as well, just for fun.

Yes the H1 and H2 do have the same bolt circle. However the back spacing is different. I am not sure but I think the H1 wheel has about 1.5" different offset.

Ya know, I have seen H1's rolling with H2 wheels, but not sure what mods would have to be done either.

Alan on this board/ used to ahve an SUT and pruchased a Red H1 Open Top. He put his H2 wheels with 37's on the H1. you may want to PM him for more info.

I can tell you though, those beadlocks are waaaaay fawkin heavy..esp. for teh H2 front end. you may have to MOd some things to beef it up.

Ive seen tons of H1s with H2 wheels, but I dont think it will fit the other way because the H1 has inboard mounted brakes so the wheels are only made to clear the hub.

I know older dodge trucks can fit HMMWV wheels

They look damn cool. I always liked how the safari edition wheels looked. Very similar.

The h1 wheels will fit the h2 but the back spacing is about 1.5 less so the wheels sit in on the truck. Looks kinda goofy I tried. I'm sure if you used some spacers it would work of you wanted to go that route.

Got any pics?

No didn't take any thought it looked too silly. Not to mention your probably looking at about 6k just for rims if you do get the two piece dual beadlock rims.

The H1 has the same bolt patter (8 on 6.5) but the inside center diameter of the wheel is different. I'm not sure about the backspacing. The Alpha wheels and tires with the runflat inside are CRAZY HEAVY! It is not recommended to run the wheel and tire without the runflat either because the runflat acts as the beadlock for the tire. No matter what, I'd recommend that you get a spare tire and wheel that you can actually lift. Older Dodge and Ford wheels will work in a pinch. (I found this out when I had two flat tires over Christmas while we were traveling out of state) Finding a tire shop that can change one when you're not near an official Hummer dealer is especially hard. It's very difficult and time consuming to pinch the runflat to get it out of the tire if you don't have the tools and I suspect most shops wouldn't even attemp it. (this is starting to sound depressing )

When you take an H2 wheel and put it on the H1, you have to machine the center of the wheel to get it to fit on the axel hub (I'm sorry if I haven't used the correct terminology) and the offset is different, which is not recommended for an H1 (at least it wasn't recommended to me by several different people). Since there are guys out there that put H2 wheels on, I'd ask them.

Anyway, I like the green color best.
