Anybody got any pics of their J-truck with a set to H2 wheels? :thumbsup:

I'm thinking, they would be a nice decent set of rims given the bolt pattern should fit a J20, and you can get 'em relativley cheaply off d'bay.
But the GM 8 lug pattern should fit J20 8 lug axles correct?


(sorry I hate asking for pics, of somethign kinda stoopid)

Yes, H2 Wheels can be had for cheap, look sharp and will physically bolt up to a J20.
The main issue is that way to much backspace, meaning they set to deep in the fenderwell and to close to the springs.

Some here have used them with good results.
I had a set and felt that the H2 wheels were to close for my liking.
I mounted one on the rear of my J20 just to see how they would look.
I do not have a typical J20, as I have a generic flat bed that had been somewhat modified to fit a Full Size Jeep.
Here are my results:

I'll have to measure the minimum back spacing I could get away with and while accomodating for tire width also. I'd hate to have to use spacers.

I plan on using 1 1/2 inch 8 lug spacers with H2 rims and stock 315 tires on my J-20 with a 6" lift. My question is, will there be too much stress for the spacers..? I don't plan on using the truck off-road.

There is nothing wrong with spacers. Just be sure to use lock-tight on the hub lugs and make sure they stay properly torqued....

My family has put spacers on lifted trucks for years at their tire shop and have never had a single customer return with a broken spacer or damage caused by one.
