Here's a couple pics of the 38x15.5 offroad, nothing great, but offroad, I didn't realize the camera still had a couple videos recorded on it, so the memory would only allow a couple of pics, when I get back in town I will go back out and take some better pics of it off road.

Rubbed like a bitch in the parking lot too w/ a 6"L. Even occasionally after trimming the fender wells.

BADADADADDADADADADADADDADADADADA. Makes your face go oooooh.

Thanks, Sure they rub, you can get about 3/4 turn before any rubbing, I can go through ditches with minor rubbing. The most rock crawling I do is over stone walls. No damage to wheel wells, no rub marks in tires, as of yet any way.

3/4 of a turn??? That brings the suck. Going through a 6" ditch isn't wheeling. And I bet your "stone wall" has an eerie resemblance to a curb. Stop exaggerating.:OWNED:

The first pic makes it look as if the tires are too wide for the wheels. Not sure why, because the other pics don't look like it.

I think it looks pretty good. I could see some street queens pulling that off no problem.
I can't imagine what it would be like off road though...like REAL wheeling.

That's true off-roading! Driving it off the pavement doesn't count for off-roading.

Murf,

It looks good, I'm surprised you were able to get those tires on there without a liftkit.

Just be prepared though, like the others mentioned, you won't have a lot of ability to jump curbs even without rubbing...let alone going off roading.

The least amount of flex in your suspension with the wheels turned will either rub or tear something up.

Having said that, if you don't offroad, then don't worry about it. It looks good.

For my application it works just fine, the rubbing is not bad, I'm more into mud and snow not rocks. I guess after thousands of hours in a skidder (which will go only where hummers have wet dreams of going) i don't find that crawling over rocks much fun. And OFFROADING does not consist of only driving over rocks.

True, but even in sand and in mud you'll still get plenty of articulation that will cause issues. As already mentioned, just going off-road will no doubt be fine, but for wheelin, you will have rubbing issues.Yes, but it still looks pretty damn sweet!

That little farm skidder looks nearly brand new.

I can guarantee any Hummer will go anywhere that little skidder will go. All they will have to do is stuff those Ag tires underneath and hope they don't rub.

I can guarantee your wrong. Ag tires or not, there is no way

That reminds me: has anyone mounted Ag tires on their H2? When wheeling a couple weeks ago, the owner of The Alberta Safari Park rolled a set up to my vehicle, and we were trying to gauge whether we could get them to fit or not. Of course, you can get them in many different sizes, but in general, we found that anything with the diameter one would need looked more like pizza cutters. I'd be scared of how little lateral traction I would get with them, too. :( And the fact that I couldn't use them on the highway, but that's what a second set of rims are for. :D

That's me ;)

BTW If you are going to be around Nov 1 contact Rod, he's having a get together at his place and I'll be up in Vegas.

You know I called him the o ther day when I saw him on the road. He still hasn;'t called me back.....LOL Sure hey is your wife coming too.
