Spacer width for Humvee wheels on CUCV?

[Bob H]

What size spacers are you running?
I thought 2" was needed, but after test fitting one on another truck, I started measuring.
I have 37" Goodyear's on 6-3/4 wide rims on my M1028, to have the outside sidewall in the same place I would only need a 1" spacer?
I'm going to test fit one to see what it looks like before I buy thinner spacers or see about turning these down.

Are you referring to the spacer needed to get the rear tires the same width as the front? According to the data plate i would assume 1" on each side would work but I've never measured. But it is something I've casually thought of doing as well.

Did you end up figuring it out?

Looking for what spacers people have used for humvee wheels on the CUCV, have compared where the tire sits on std pickup wheels & not having the tires rub. The thinnest spacer I have found for the 8 lugs is 1.5". So that is likely what I'll use instead of the 2" spacers that I have.

The HMMWV wheel is 8-¼ wide and has a backspace of ~7", compared to your std wheel with only 5" BSp.
That's why people use 2" spacers when running stock HMMWV wheels & tires on a M1008.

In your case, a 1" spacer would be as much as you need, I think. And maybe only on the rears. (?)
