If those were 16" I'd buy them in a second. If my tires were any taller I'd need a bigger garage door, so no 37's for me.

I am thinking about them Tanner but don't wait for me, if I get them I get them, if not, someone else does....

The 37" HMMWV tires when new measure out at ~ 36.5" overall diameter, compared to the 9.00-16 at ~35.5" overall diameter. Net gain of approximately 1" in O.D. Of course, tire pressures & amount of tread left on tire (if installing used HMMWV tires) comes into play in the O.D. equation as well -

Will they work with th eugly truckling disc brake conversion?

[Tanner]

I'll take measurements this weekend to confirm, but these should clear disc brake conversion from Ugly Truckling...

The rims definitely clear the disc brake conversions from Helitool/Uglytruckling - bolted up a rim to a disc brake equipped M37 today for test fit.

Sounds good Tanner but I am still scratching for funds as I have just had to spend $1,400 on wood for much needed replacement of our garden and greenhouse, I am sure someone on here will jump in and get them before me, C'mon guys, these are too good to pass up

Okay, I'm trying to decide between your rims and having a set of 16 inch rims made from my budd centers. Anybody want to talk me into these?

[Monkey Man]

You need them, 16.5's are common where you are and not badly priced, Did I say YOU NEED THEM??

MonkeyMan... funny that you mention $1400 - this was some of the price quotes I was getting from UPS & FedEx for shipping to your neighborhood...

These rims were originally mounted with Super Swamper tires when I got them; they were used on a M37 water tank truck by a fire company that serviced a soft terrain forested area nearby. Evidently,they worked.

MM - hard part at times is finding good-quality rim bands/'hoops' that are load-rated for heavier trucks. I've run across a few rim bands that are flimsy & cheap.

Others have reported similar issues.

I have been told there is an "oily" (bare rim) that is for F250 and bigger so I'll check that out, problem will be making the rims legal so I have to look into a professional wheelmake to build them. Would you have a pic of the wheel's inside and out so I can get the offset and cut set up to be a close match?
Thanks

Best Regards - MM
