What I think is that with 20" wheels and 35" tires, you don't have too much room to bash people who run low-profile street tires. 17 or 18" wheels would be the max I'd run with 35" tires for a decent mix of off-road and on-road performance.

Remember, you asked.

With all that said, I think your truck looks pretty cool.

Thanks for your perspective. I had a breakdown of the actual sidewall comparison, but my internet cut me off. So I'll just sum it up.

Extreme Offroading 18" is to large. My stockers are for that with the 37's. I wouldn't mind a smaller rim (16 or smaller) for extreme wheelin'.

Comparing a 22/24 wrapped with a low profile tire to that of a 20"/35" mudtire is just a tad different to say the least. Granted I have only run this setup once offroad, but besides the sidewall I have noticed nothing but improvement over a less agressive tire (stock). This was compared at the same trail with the stockers prior to these.

I compared and looked at virtually every setup on this board, to see what I felt was best. 37's rub unless you run the stock rim then its questionable. So, a 35" tire would be the only option. After comparing sidewall and how much you have after airdown, I noticed minimal difference to that of a stock one. I actually left the different rims on each side (stock and these). Again, personal perspective. Any extreme wheelin' I will be runing my stockers with the 37's. But again, anything other then extreme wheelin' I have nothing but praise for this setup to date.

Ah, I didn't catch that in your other posts.

Again, good looking truck!

so...they are KMC wheels, right?

Great looking rig! How about a few closeups of the tires and rims?

Let me get them scratched up a bit prior to photos. This is the cleanest it has been since I bought it.

DVJ 11-01-2005 06:11 PM

Ok, ok, so are these KMC wheels? I've been considering the KMC black wheels for my black H2.

KMC Backseat B wheels - 20 x 9

Set up looks real good. Although realize before baggin on 22/24's that a 22" rim with 37's will give you the same sidewall, albeit with some minor rubbing.

Thanks for the kind words. 22/24's with 37's are great... However you will have virtually zero articulation. Nonetheless it looks wonderful.

That is true. For off road look - it works. But if your going to roll on anything more than a fire road/back road it will rub like a 16 year old boy, with a porno magazine.
