Hummer tires, military take offs 37-12.50.16.5

Anyone running or have run these in the past? I'm thinking about getting a set for my 2000 F350. I know the fitment will be very tight with my 4" lift. I'm planning on running Centerline Convo Pro wheels that have 4.5" of backspacing.

Anyone run these on their truck? How did you like them? I know they will wear very very well.

Any issues you guys see to running this setup?

I need tires and I can get this wheel / tire combo for about $650 so that is why I am considering it.

Might want to stay away from those wheels. Lots of fellas running into issue with the convo pro's with big heavy trucks like our super duty's Another wheel choice might be better.

I have them, nice slow wear, good tire. Can get them here in Texas set of 4 for shy of $400, sometimes on special for 300. I also have a 4" lift, they fit, just do some trimming.





I can try and get better pics if you want Sunday.

So there are problems with these wheels handling the weight of the truck and tires?

Yeah from what the guy at the wheel shop told me he said they are prone to losing the center rivets(not functional but still) and can't handle the weight when towing. He sold me some cheaper eagle alloys ( could have made more on me but steered me right so i take his word)

i ran those tires for a while they held up really well, tough tire. You can tell they're strong by how heavy they are

How did they ride? Also, how is the road noise, and are they a true 37" tall, or are they shorter? I have MTR's and they are alot shorter than what they are supposed to be. Been thinking about these as they are quite affordable.

The centerlines I believe are lug centric where as Ford designed them as Hub centric. You'll want hub centric.

Or get a whole set of new acorn nuts. Got a deal on mine from the local discount tire for buying a whole set.

Do you guys know if you can get these on military base at the DRMO or how the people who are selling them are getting them? By the way I have ran a set of these and very happy with them but not on those rims. Problem now is that I have wore them out and need to buy a new set. I live right by Joint Base Lewis-McChord and would like to figure out how to buy them direct.

Any help much appreciated.
