I don know about that.  I had them on a 74 until I put steels back on it, and never had a problem.

The main problem I see with the H1 wheels is the obsolete 16.5" size and the 9" rim width.  The bolt pattern is not a problem.

They are 2-1/2" wider and 1/2" bigger diameter than the stock CK20 wheels so it's possible.

Oh yea forgot about the H2 wheels. Yes those are 17s also and you can put Chevy caps on them. They do look pretty good.

Yea and they are H1 wheels, for a HUMVEE. The H2 wheels for the GM built Hummers are a good fit. The Hummers are basically just heavy duty or 3/4 ton Tahoe's. The HUMVEE is a military vehicle, totally different beast.



P.S. that picture was taken at my work, by me, cuz I serviced that monster.

Those are H3 wheels.  The H3 is a Yukon with a different body tub.

I'm looking at my 2500 with the stock front springs. I'm thinking 33s are going to most likely rub... as the 31s don't exactly have a ton of clearance in the front.

Going to have to think about this some.

Those are H2 wheels, a rebodied Yukon/Tahoe (GMT913).  The H3 was a rebodied Colorado/Canyon (GMT355)

Wrong. The Hummer H2 is a Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon with a different body and 3/4 ton power train. A Hummer H3 is a Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon with a different body.

At a glance they looked like a 1/2 ton Tahoe with big boy wheels. 
So it's even cheesier.  A glorified ST series with narrowed big boy axles and a body tub...    :o ;D   
The marketing guy that came up with that combo at GM must've gotten a bunch of attaboys for that.  The L52 I5 in the Blazers was a gas guzzling pig.  Would much rather they had used the 4.8L LR4 LS V8 that got around 17mpg HWY compared to the gutless L52 I5 at around 11mpg HWY.
