Want to put these KMC Rockstars on my H3. Can anyone tell me if they will fit. They are a private sale. The size are 18x9 six lug. The guy told me the distance between lugs opposite each other on the rockstars are 5 1/2 inches which is identical to the H3. He also told me the opening in the middle is approx 4 1/4 inches. It appears that the opening on my truck is 4 inches.
Can anyone offer any light on this issue. I don't want to buy unless i'm sure they will fit. Can'ts seem to make contact with KMC directly. My guess is that they will fit. Thanks for your thoughts guys.

Better check the backspacing since they're 1.5" wider than stock.

Okay, what would I need to do to get them to fit. Could I purchase something to make them fit?
As you can see, i'm knowledgable with this stuff.

It depends on the size of tire you want to run will determine how much backspacing you will need to keep the rim/tire from rubbing. I'm haven't even looked at the stock rims to see what the stock backspacing is, but if the rims are 1.5" wider than stock, the backspaing should be less than stock on the new rims, by .5-1" depending on tire size. The wider the tire, the less backspacing you want. That is, if my tire memory serves me right.

Makes sense blue. Want to put the following size tire on these wheels 325/60/R18. I'll look into the backspacing issue.
Thanks

I hope you are adding a lift kit to your list, no way 325's will work without a lift.

That's the size tire Truxxx uses and I would think you need their kit to run them. And they would still need to stick out quite a bit. That's a lot of rubber for the H3.
