Boggers on M1008

[Randyw]

I am wanting to run 44" boggers on my 84 m1008. I will be purchasing some steel wheels for the project and wanted to know if anyone had an idea on what back spacing I will need on the wheel. I will be running a 12" wide 16" wheel the tires will be 44"x 18.5. Thanks for any help!

This might help you some. In the first couple post someone says use 3.5 in spacers.

The link works now. Tell me if it doesn't.

I just realized I posted this in the wrong place. Lol! Sharecropper I appreciate the offer but I want go with the boggers. CUCVLover I already have a set of Humvee wheels with the 37's on them. The truck right now has a 6" lift and I soon will be going with a 12" for this project. I really wanted to go with a fairly inexpensive steel wheel for the new 44"s. I just need to know what backspacing to order the wheels with that will work with that tire. Thank you!

The back spacing normally would be not more than 4 inch. however a tire that tall and wide will require a much different setup.

I hear you need 2 inch spacers to run stock hummer rims with hummer tires. Stock hummer rims have 7.5 back space so maybe you can go up to 5.5 back spacing but that is with a 14.5 wide tire at 36 tall (actual measurements) Being 8 inches taller will require approx. 2 inches additional back spacing. Being 4 inches wider will require an additional 2 inches.

So in general approximation you will probably need about an inch of back spacing which you will probably not be able to find. I think 3.5 is as low as most go so you will probably need a rim with the least amount of back spacing you can find and then make up the difference with spacers.

My memory may fail me some on the actual hummer tire width but an 18.5 inch wide tire is going to take some $ to make work

I am assuming you are doing a massive lift or removing the fenders.

Need a lot more info on the build. I would get things built first then pick the wheel.

I have 11 inch wide x 39 tall tires and I my rims are 16X8 with 4 inch of back spacing. I have about an inch of clearance between the tire and frame when fully turned.

Thanks richingalveston! The truck will have 12" of lift with crossover and hydro assist steering. I will not be running the Humvee wheels I will be purchasing new wheels.
