Hummer H2 wheels -will they fit 78' F250?

Just wondering if anyone here has tried to mount up the hummer H2 wheels on there 70's F250? I know the bolt pattern is the same but clearance and so on. I have a 78' crew cab F250 4wd and came across a set anyone know off the top of their head. Someone that's tried already - even better

Thanks Guys

They won't work. The GM H2 wheel is hub centric.

They will work but you can not run any centercaps, unless you take a hole saw and cut out the center

I guess I like they way they look, and I'm running 16" steels now with bad tires and I can get all 5 wheels and tires for $250. So It'll work till I can track down some slotted 8 lugs or some turbines.

Well, I had to retract my previous statement.....they will not work. I forgot that they are hub centric.

Well I have them now. I'm going to try them out when I get some time off to see if I can make them work. If not I'm sure I can get my $250 for they set of 5.

There is probably not much that you can do. I don't even think the pilot hole will fit over your rear hub.

If you bore out the center hole for the hub, it will work. Ask a machine shop or wheel repair shop if they can do it for you. You can do it yourself, but they'll have the equipment to make it right.

You never mention about the clearance issue?

I'm running 37" OZ Hummer 16.5's on my 76 highboy on 9.75" rims; clearance not effected on highboys but stock F250 I don't know.
