They are 35x12.50R20 Nitto Mud Grapplers. I cranked the torsion bars to get the front end close to level. I'm very happy with the look.

I still have a few more things to install and then I will take some better pictures.

Looks great, makes me want to add those to the To-Do list when I can finally get my Alpha.

:perfect10s:

[wpage]

Lookin Good!
How many rotations did you crank the T bars?

[Big Dad]

Looks good!

[moabxj01]

It took about 6.5-7 turns...I still have another .5"-.75" before it sits level but I think I'm just going to leave it where its at.

[Slammed Vette]

How far do they stick out?Looks awesome!!!

[moabxj01]

They only stick out an inch or two. I'm not a fan of wheels that stick way out there but I think these look just right...imho anyway. I'll try to get some pics from the front and back soon but it may not be till I get back from Moab on monday.

[moorec614]

Would you happen to know the backspacing of the wheels?

[moabxj01]

I don't know the backspacing but I'll try and find out tomorrow. I didn't make it to moab this weekend so I did some crawling in my driveway

I am planning on going to moab this upcoming weekend but who knows, that may not happen either :(

[Spuds]

After upgrading to 35"s can the 33" still be used temporarily as a spare without torqing out the drivetrain.....???

[homeboy]

that is one sweet looking hummer,im looking at buying those tires also what do you think of them so far?:perfect10s:

[moabxj01]

Well they are definitely loud going down the highway, they make it sound like you are riding in an airplane. But I really don't think the ride is any worse than it was with the stock tires. Although I only drove on the stock tires for a week. I haven't had them offroad yet so I don't know about that. So far I like them.

[davyo]

What size wheels are those ???

Cheers
Davyo

[moabxj01]

They are 20x9.

[cdmintmi]

man your rig looks hot

my 315/75/16 toyo oc mt's just arrived today for my stock rims but my tire guy was booked this afternoon, so ill try to get them on tomorrow.

:eek: Damn these things are big, you guys absolutely positively sure they will fit???? I have the truxx leveling kit (i know some of you think its crap but its on there). I rolled one up and sat it beside the 3 and it looks like its going to be a pretty tight fit!!! But if it works itll look soooooo fing sweet

[moabxj01]

I don't have a leveling kit and mine fit fine. I just cranked my tbars a bit.

sweet thanks moabxj01 i had them delivered to office today and when i got back from the feild i loaded em up and man they look sweet. cant wait to get em on there. I was wondering if it would be worth the money to add a catback or any other "power adder" to help the I5 push em down the road. I dont think itll be that much of a difference and i doubt you can add too much unless you go with something like a supercharger or something crazy like that, but just curious if anything out is worth the money? Ive read alot about the Corsa but its pretty expensive compared to others. Kind of like the Gobi rack. But with the Gobi I know you get what you pay for, same true to exhuast?

[cdmintmi]

well had the new 315/75 toyos put on the stock rims friday and man the look sweet on the truck. its unbelievable how much better the rig looks with some real tires on there. They do hit the sway bar at full lock seems worse when turning left, but the truck turns so sharp anyways its not a problem. took the ol lady mall crawling this weekend (didnt tell her how much they were just that I needed ones and she didnt complain so she deserved it) and even she didnt complain about the minute humm on the highway. but she did say they were a little big, haha women. they really are almost as quite as the sock wranglers and the look is every bit as good as i thought it would be. also the trip home is just under 200 miles and then some driving around town and not once did i feel a difference in power. Im not a race car driver and I know my H3 isnt a race car, that might have something to do with that. But anyways, half a tank to get home just like before so the mpg must not have changed all that much either. Did math got 16.6mpg (and thats not factoring in the difference in the new tire size) used to be between 17 and 18.
Thanks to all on the forum for the help. pictures will come tomorrow after work if i can find where i stuck my camera. brush guard lights should be here in a week or so too. might have some questions for installing them too. you guys rock, thanks.

[H3slate]

moab the wheels and tires are hot!! One of the few 20" wheel and tire combos I have liked on the 3.

cdmint - glad you like your 35's! Can't wait to see pics!

[timgco]

Yeah, where are the pics?


how's the Mob trails and your new wheel/ tire setup working out? HAve you have it flexed up all the way? how much rub?

[cdmintmi]

thanks. I have the same question on the rub when flexed. there isnt a whole lot of room left in the wheel well areas. Im not a big rock crawler wheeler, more of a mudder myself so its not as terribly important for me but Ill go around the job site tomorrow after I get my amigos going and see if I can find some picture worthy areas to test it out on without tearing off a fender hopefully. That is if I can find that damn camera!!!

[moabxj01]

I had them tucked in the rear fender wells and didn't notice any rubbing. Ran Hell's Revenge yesterday...wanted to run 2 more trails today but the people I went down with wanted to go home :confused: :notallthere: :mad: :mad: :mad:

So I learned an important lesson, never go wheeling with people who have never been wheeling before. Next time I go down I'll go by myself if I have to... I can't wait to go down with a group of Hummers. Out on the trail I got some wierd looks from people... Guess they don't see people rollin with 20"s on the slickrock very often :popcorn:

Rugged H2 is in the SLC Area. He also has an H3 too. Neo lives in the Moab area and has an H3.

I'm going back in mid may as well.

[cdmintmi]

Ok I got some pics of my new 35's on stock rims but i cant figure out how to upload more than one picture at a time. I am a newb can someone help me out??? i put them on photobucket the tried to attach and it gives a link if i do more than one. and it also gives a link if i insert file. What am I doing wrong???

[moabxj01]

I don't know exactly how photobucket does it but after you host a picture it should give you some different options on how to link to it. Just find the one that has a simple "http://www.photobucket.com/mypicture.jpg"... then come back to the forum and click on the Insert Image icon. Copy the link into the box, press ok, and it should post it in your reply for you.

[cdmintmi]

ok thanks to a post from Sewie about a year ago i finally figured how to post these things I think....here we go

Stock rims stock tires:
47640
47641

New 315/75 Toyo MT's:
47642
47643
47644
47645

wouldve taken more but had a little accident this afternoon. driving through about 8 inches of mud and wrapped a steel silt fence stake around my front pass A arm and that somehow through a wheel speed sensor all out of whack. ABS Fault, Traction Control Failure, and a Service Stab Trak warning was soon after along with no 4LowLock. Off to the Hummer dealer I go I guess. They said it should be covered. To bad its over an hour and a half away so I have to drive around with no ABS no tract or stabil control or 4lowlock for a few days till I can head that way. Still LOVE the tires and cant wait to really test them out, and I think they look perfect!!! My co-worker just took his dodge ram home and brought his ranger up, said hes going to have bring the bigger truck back up now so hes not the smallest one on the job site anymore.
