How To Mount Military Surplus 16.5" 2-Piece HMMWV Rims (12-Bolt or 24-Bolt)

This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through how to mount and assemble a 2-piece 16.5" military wheel on a 37x12.5R16.5 BFGoodrich Baja T/A Hummer / H1 tire (with a run flat installed).
While this example uses a 12-bolt rim specifically (the 2nd gen w/ alignment hole), the same steps apply for evenly-spaced 24-bolt wheels, the tandem-style (E-Rated) 24-bolt, and most modified/re-centered Humvee rims as well!

I got them and am now looking to get myself 2 more 12 bolt beadlocks for My 1990 M998 HUMMER... The TIRES you guys sent to me down here where I live in KY are in DAM good shape and I was very surprised and Tickled you guys gave me an extra Humvee WHEEL... Look forward to doing business with you folks again sometime in the future... Thank you All... And GOD BLESS 👍🤠📿❤🇺🇸

[@cruiez2008]

I like the way you explain it. Great job 👍

[@PerfectOafy]

Damn I feel like an expert after this fantastic, in-depth look. Also, when did Gabdalf's little brother start filming tire change tutorials?

[@FeltzTire]

Apparently last Tuesday.

[@jerry50bmg65]

Very detailed presentation

[@AZendofroad]

Awesome video! I just bought my tires from you guys a day ago! I can’t wait to install them myself! Glad I found your video! Jonathan Williams

[@awidesigns]

I picked up 5 new tires just a month ago from them....great tires for a great price.

[@gg86]

Wow... You did that very conscientious.

[@joeljanik5177]

Really good video. Great demonstration and editing (fast forward while you put on bolts)

[@stanleyhall6399]

Maybe bart rims make some new bolt pattern cap

[@andychips6923]

Just ordered a set from you guys.. thanks a ton for posting the video

[@dannyumana143]

Thanks for the video

[@AZendofroad]

Any video on getting the old tires un mounted off the hmmwv wheel? Thanks in advance

[@chrisrenfroe7473]

Any problems mounting those in a dual set up like on the bus ?

[@stanleyhall6399]

Any adapters to run these on old jeep dodge Ford pattern

[@recallbarack]

Nice job. What chassis are you using under the bus?

[@andrewlippincott]

Hows did you set up the wheels as budds in the rear?

[@UcantBeSerious03]

I was here for the how to air up

[@nickthole5096]

Would you recommend I remove the run flats to reduce weight on the tire if I’m running them on my 77 dodge w300? Will that matter ?

[@stickyricesock]

where do I pick up the O'rings?

[@ThatBassFishingDude]

What’s the offset on these? Can you run TPMS sensors in them?

[@guillermodelatorre8]

How you get them on the rear on that bus size of tire and wheel any spacers

[@issacissac1327]

Is it possible to run the set up you have on your bus with an f350?

[@mark3879]

Do you have the video of a complete strip down of tyre and run flat from rim?

[@FeltzTire]

Unfortunately we don't have one yet, but that wouldn't be bad idea. I'll make sure to remember that for next time!

[@dougf1592]

Any suggestions for surplus tire 16.5” that will be on road 90% of the time? 1995 Hummer.

[@leonardopoma162]

Hi there, just got my hands on some 24bolts and I noticed that it’s pretty hard to screw the nuts keeping the two halves of the rim together, I have a “hobby-kind” electric impact wrench and it struggles screwing those down, are those intended to be that way so that they don’t unscrew while driving or should I give the threads a good clean? Maybe going through them with a tap or a die (The studs are a bit rusty)

[@BlPlN]

Any info on the DRW humvee wheels? I assume they're just re-welded centers?

[@FeltzTire]

Yep, all of the wheels had to be re-centered by Stazworks. Also used a spacer between each set of duals in the rear to keep them gapped properly.

[@H1Hummer]

My question is where do you find 16 and a 1/2 inch tires they seem to be very hard to come across.

[@FeltzTire]

The US military still uses a 37" x 12.50R16.5LT on their HMMWV's (which we stock and sell regularly), but a radial 16.5 in any size other than a 37" is almost nonexistent now unfortunately. You can still technically find quite a few different options in a bias-ply 16.5, but they tend to be expensive and wear out quickly when used on the highway, since those are usually designed more as an off-road/mud terrain tire.

[@jfgregory1329]

What is the torq spec on the 12 bolts?

[@KSI_Revelations]

125ft Lbs

[@enterBJ40]

Any plan for that 40 series at 3:48?

[@FeltzTire]

That's a personal side project the gentleman in the video is currently working on. I think his plan is more of a general rebuild (he's switching out the old weather stripping as I type this), but that's all I got out of him.

[@enterBJ40]

Ok. Got it. Thanks for reply

[@coreystavrakis3668]

How did you mount on the bus? I’m looking at getting some recentered to 8x6.5 pattern

[@woof3598]

bet there isnt a lot of tire places that we sell you tires

[@FeltzTire]

We actually get new old stock and good used 37" 16.5's all the time through government surplus, so we should be good for years yet!
