M1008; will the HUMWV 8 socket wheels fit the M1008?

[rattler1982]

Looking to fit my CUCV with a bigger set of tires for beach n hunting fun. Will the regular HUMWV wheels and tires fit a CUCV M1008 with no changes to the body?

No.

You will need 2" spacers for the rims and at least a fender trim depending on how bad your springs are sagging. Most guys end up with a 4" lift

Hmmwv wheels on m1008

I'm looking at putting on hmmwv wheel on my m1008 , does any one know how they fit on the front do you need spacers or not

 

[cucvrus]

Yes you need at least 2 1/2" spacers.

There are a few great detailed builds on here.

That's good to know thank for the good info

You'll need spacers or have them re-centered. Mine are re-centered to ~3.5" back spacing.

I've read that you can run the dually hubs in the front to eliminate the need for spacers.

I have a set of the front spacers, they are new and come with the lug nuts. $100.00 for the set.

There are lots of options that a lot folks have done on the forum. Personally I have re-centered a couple sets of wheels. The stamped centers make the wheels about 3.5" offset. Flat centers set in as far as possible result in 5" ish backspacing. Stock HMMWV wheels are about 7" backspacing. With low backspacing comes large scrub radius in the front. The outside of your tires travel in a larger arc and will require more fender trimming with a low offset. I am really quite pleased with 5" backspacing, they are tucked in nicely and I got away with less trimming than my buddy that has the 3.5" stamped center. 2" steel spacers with stock wheels is a pretty clean solution, or re-centered wheels with flat centers. Just be aware that stamped centers, or dually hubs with stock HMMWV wheels will require major fender surgery.
