proper rim width for hummer tires?

[Recovry4x4]

I ended up with a set of the 16.5 x 6.75 rims. Was planning on using them on my M1008 but have since changed my mind. Guess I should seek and list them.

Let's try a refresher course on how to measure rim width... measurement is between the inner bead seating areas on rim.

Which value would be stamped on the wheel: Overall Rim Width or Rim Width?

OK guys I need some help here. I have an M1009. After much lift kit deliberation (And countless hours reading about them on SS) I decided on the Rough Country 4" lift with all new springs.

I contacted Hundy about 37" Hummer MT Radials and decided on them.

Question is what wheels?

Settled on the Pro Comp Rock Crawler Series 52 Black Steel Wheels but which size?

16.5 in. x 9.75 in., 6 x 5.50 in. Bolt Pattern , 4.5 in Back Space

OR

16.5 in. x 8.25 in., 6 x 5.50 in. Bolt Circle, 4.00 in. Backspace

Any input would be helpful....Thanks

16.5 in. x 8.25 in., 6 x 5.50 in. Bolt Circle, 4.00 in. Backspace- I would go with these myself less back spacing the better I would think. If 6.75 will work I think 8.25 would be ample.

I would think so too but they are 37X12.50 tires. Plus the 8.25 have a -16mm offset. The 9.75 have a -22mm offset. I think overall if I can get away with using the 8.25's I'll have a lot less torque on my lugs than using the 9.75's
