16.5 6 lug rims

[Stone1098]

Anyone know where I can get 16.5 6 lug rims cheep?

You might run into some problems finding some.
16.5" inch rims are pretty rare as it is, and almost all stock, cheap 16.5" rims are 8 lug.

Might find some on Craigslist.
You might also be able to find some offroad wheel companies that sell some. I think Pro Comp has some steel wheels they sell in 16.5" sizes. Probably for around $80-100/ea.
AlfaHeaven has new 5 and 6 lug 16.5" tires; $350 for a set of 4 plus shipping. I'm not sure what the quality or the maker of the wheels is.

My 1009 came with a set of 36" Humvee tires on special made Kelsey Hayes 16.5 rims. I traded them for a set of BFG's on 15" rims for both better ride quality and a wider range of tire options for the future.

The wheels off of bolster trailers are 16.5"'s and have the 6-lug pattern.

There were a lot of them that where scrapped in KS in the past year, so you may want to check w/ Glen (91W350).

like hog truck said, on summit, I have found multiple sets in junkyards on old chevys with "cool rims" from back in the 80s when 16.5 was somewhat in a weird way normal

I was under the assumption 15" rims would not fit our vehicles? Or is it just they won't fit M1008's? DriverSide, have you had any clearance problems with the 15" rims?

 

[doghead]

15" on an M1009

15" No go, on the M1008. I do not recommend grinding your caliper to fit them.

 

[Cucvnut]

Why are you anti grinding DH ?

 

[DriverSideImpact1008]

Yes, what DH said. All Blazers military or civilian had 15" wheels.

And CUCVnut, anytime you take metal off of something it inherently becomes weaker. Maybe a lot, maybe a little. But brake calipers need to be able to hold over 1000 pounds of pressure, so not something you wanna chance.

I'm not sure how bad the interference is if you were to try and stick 15's on a 1008. If it was just very slight, minor rubbing, you could file off just enough to make it fit. But 16's are easy to find and 8 lug 16" wheels aren't rare either, so I can't see any benefits to fitting 15's onto a 1008.

I have 5 factory chevy 6 lug 16.5's but your a ways away.

 

[Stone1098]

How much would you want for them?

Can someone please tell me the lug pattern and what off set should i get for a m1009. I have a brand new set of BF goodrich tires for 16.5 rims. Thanks

Does anyone still have any of those 16.5 6 lug rims anymore? I can get some 37" BFGs for my 1009 and give her a bit of a lift!

 

[danoscooter]

fuzzpuss I got mine at summit. I got BFGs AT KO 35". Went with no lift and trimming front fenders.
