Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
Chales06, all the difference in the world is the offset of the wheels. H2Much is running Rockstars, those are 20x12 WITH a -44mm offset, that means they stick out outwards more giving those sick 40s some room to roll, plus do the math... think of a fat chick trying to pull a Beyonce move in a skinny jeans... it ain't gonna work and definitely not gonna look good. you need to give a 15.5" wide tire some room to play, 9" is not enough (that's what she said!).:D

What you're running is only 20x9... with a -12mm offset....... Honestly my friend (IN MY OPINION!!!!) you should never run anything less then a -24mm with a 10" wide wheel with equivalent tire thickness to go with it if you want your rig to look ... like this guy >:raar:

Just my $0.02.

That's what I figured. The offset on my KMC Hoss's is pretty good, but I still need spacers to fit a 13.5" tire on the carrier. I didn't think the Rockstars' backspacing was that much more than the Hoss's. I'll have to look it up.

They're 2 different size 20" Rockstars... 20x10 with -24mm and 20x12 with -44mm.... which IMO it looks way sicker..

HA!!.... Thank you! well... that's why it doesnt get detailed! lol... Pressure washer here we come!:clapping:

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
The important part is the backspacing, not the offset. Offset is measured from the outside of the wheel to the hub, so a wider wheel will always have a higher offset. Backspacing is measured from the hub to the inside of the wheel.

In other words, two different wheels can have completely different offsets, but if their backspacing is the same, ideally, they should fit the same...I think.

My eyes just crossed...

i detail cars, so the first thing i notice about a car is how hard or easy it is to clean it. and i must say, the hummer is by far the hardest to clean/detail of any other trucks/suv i have owned. your truck looks great though.

Torsion Keys up front and some custom spacers in the rear along with 37's. I didn't want to go overboard like I did with my Jeeps...keep the Hummer a good street performer and make it a little bit better looking. I'm happy with the size it sits at right now. Looks close enough to stock but more aggressive :excited: Of course there where some other mods I had to do with the rear, like modify the trackbar to center the axle and of course shocks. Indy

did you go with the green keys? how much did you lift the front? i have th green keys, but im waiting till i get my 37's before i do more of a lift. but i was wanting to do about 2-3" up front and then a 2" spacer in the rear with all new shocks all the way around. you have the perfect look with yours.

Indy 10-12-2011 02:00 PM

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
I don't recall the company who made the torsion keys for mine, but it sits about 2.5"-3" higher...hard to say, since all the torsion bars are adjusted a bit differently from the factory. Just make sure there is still some axle drop present...there is a metal bump stop which will limit its downward movement and you want some gap there. Rear are 3" spacers. Cheers, Indy.

Thanks.Are those 22's? Looks nice. The more i see those rockstar wheels, the more i like them. What size tires?

Bimmer9938 10-14-2011 03:10 AM

That camaro is beautiful! Very nice!! I hope it looks just as good under the hood as it does on the outside!

2010_5thgen 10-14-2011 02:47 PM

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
Not much to look at under the hood but about 460rwhp. All the mone basically went into suspension mods for racing.

tyler1bo 10-14-2011 06:01 PM

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
Does this have a 6.2 in it?

2010_5thgen 10-14-2011 06:08 PM

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
Yes sir! 6 spd manual with hurst shifter.Borla headers and catback. Airaid intake. Comp cam. Full pedders suspension. All polyeurethane bushing. Bmr suspension products. Forgeline gx3 wheels 20x10 front 20x11 rear. Nitto nt05 tires. Harness bar with 5 point harness. Cts-v brakes......its a monster

tyler1bo 10-14-2011 06:19 PM

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
Love it!! That 6.2 is amazing, especially for something as light as that camaro! I bet it will tote the mail!

2010_5thgen 10-14-2011 06:26 PM

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
I love the 6.2 motors. My grandpa had a escalade with it and hauled pretty good for a heavy truck. I wish hummer would have put the 6.2 in the 07 year like cadillac did. I like the 6.0 but the extra hp has to be noticeable on the 08+. Plus its sounds pretty bad ass.

tyler1bo 10-15-2011 06:11 AM

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
I love the 6.2 in mine. But honestly h2's NEED a duramax with an Allison tranny. I mean I understand it would cost more but it people are paying this much for this gas guzzler, why not spend a little more and get a BEAST with 20 mpg? I never understood why they didn't do that in the first place.

Sounds like you?re ready for Roebling or VIR... which I will be at in the next few weeks. Great setup, you did good (except hopefully you have a set of track tires)

Mark

2010_5thgen 10-15-2011 02:08 PM

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
 
No. No set of track tires yet. But for now, these nittos are perfect.

I?m sorry, I thought you were going to a race course, not a drag strip...
I misunderstood.. didn?t mean to insult your choice of tires, I immediately thought race course. duh.

No your right. I don't drag race. The cars built for road racing.
