Hi Ed
Only if you were planning on using the Humvee tire and wheel also, as the
runflat and wheel and tire are all sized to fit tightly when all mounted up.
You would need a 6 inch lift and some body cutting to get 37s on a Blazer
plus eight lug axles suchs as from the M1008. I would not think you would
be into doing that to it.

Can the Humvee run flats be installed on the M-1009 CUCVs? Has anyone done
this? Is this a good or bad idea? I'm off road a lot with my Fire/Rescue
work and a set of Humvee run flats are VERY appealing indeed!!!!

Best Regards,

Ed
