im thinking of putting 24" rims on my h2. i want to put spinners on it and was wondering if 24s would affect the smoothness of the ride. will it make the ride rough? and what is a good tire size? thanks for the help.

No you don't... for the sake of that perfectly good H2, don't.

Spinners? Is this 2004? If you want 24s, do your thing but a little discretion goes a long way ;). Generally thinking you would think 24s would ride slightly harsher as there is less sidewall and braking woudl be affected as the tires and rims are sure to be heavier.

i went to the rim store and and i wasnt impressed with the spinners because they get stuck. so i am sticking with regular 24s, does anyone know whitch tire size i need to get the smoothest ride?

You are going to want either the Toyo Mt 37x13.50x24 or the Kumho KL71 37x14-24. The Kumhos are slightly shorter so youll get less rubbing but the Toyos are probably better tires.

Love mine - I think it made the ride a little tighter, less body roll. I used lakeshorewheelandtire.com . Been wonderful. Just make sure if you have TPS that you get the sensors switched over too.

As for rub, my local dealer did a great little cutaway job in the front wheel wells to accomodate.

Thank god!! No spinners! Great choice.... we were all worried... Next thing we were hoping you wouldn't say is that you were thinking about putting neon lights underneath the truck! Whew:dancingbanana:

Low profile tires affect the ride notthe rim size!

will these fit without a lift and not rub? the tires are LT325/50R-24/10 124R Open Country A/T All Position Blackwall. does anyone know how much these go for, the store wanted 650$ a piece.

No you don't... for the sake of that perfectly good H2, don't.

The first spinners I ever saw ('04?) was on a black H2 stopped next to me at a stop light. I must admit, they looked awesome. Turns out the H2 was owned by a Portland Trailblazer (must have been out on parole). Now I wouldn't put them on mine, but it was clear that rig was never going to see any dirt.
