We have begun discussions with our local Hummer dealer to sell them our H2 and buy a H3. It's my wife's daily driver so I do agree with her that the H3 will suite that purpose better (for her).
Our H2 currently has 35/12.50-18 Toyo Open country Mud Terrains. The model H3 we are considering has the off road package so it sits an inch higher. I know the wheels can't transfer but does anyone know if the tires will fit without issue? Please let me know as I am having their used car manager give me a value for my rig. |

They'll fit with Rancho's new lift for sure.
|
I'd love a lift! But...do you think true 35's will fit without a lift?
|
The only reason it sits 1" higher is because it's fitted with 33's instead of 32's. There's a thread in the Gallery area of a stock H3 with 35's on it. They did it fine. I also think they tweaked the torsion bars a little, but it wasn't necessary.

The "true" measurement of these tires are 34.5 inches.
|
i was just looking at nitto terra 315/75-R16. it measures 34.49 inches and 12.32 inches wide(as per website info). i think this is the same size tire Humv installed on his rig, only he use mickey thompsons.
|
Very few tires actually measure 35", you should always go to the manufacturer's website and look into the overall diameter of the tire. Most 35" tires run between 34.5 & 34.8
|
The size rim and offset will also depend if they fit or not. I have 315/75/16 on stock wheels and they fit fine.I see some guys are running with the tire sticking out quite a bit and I guarntee you it will chip the crap out of your paint! I have the Mickey Thompson MTX's. I did crank the torsion bars 1.5" but did not need to do so to make them fit.
|
I gave my torsion bars 5 cranks, it looks like it's ~ 2 inches higher. From a glance, 35s would fit easy.
|
They will fit.. might want to turn up the front torsions a turn or two but the width is still the same as the 33"s. I have seen two in the Phoenix area aready running 35's and they both said no rubbing and still using the stock wheels.
