We have put the Humvee tires on several M1008s. Humvee rims fit on the
back, but not on the front axle of a M1008. The stock rim center cutout is
not large enough to go over the front hub. You can have the hole enlarged,
but I wonder if the strength of the rim would be somewhat compromised.
If you want to have matching 16.5 rims, you need to use Ford or Dodge
16.5 x 8 rims. The 36" and 37" tires will both fit on them. Even though
they fit, without a lift kit, your front tires will scrub against the fender
quarter panel area in tight turns or regular turns on uneven ground.
