Wheel and Tire Recommendations
 

I want to upgrade to low profile tires on either 22 inch wheels or 24 inch. I?m looking for recommendations from the experts on this site.

If you could provide pics, prices and web links that would be awesome:

No

Sure, I would suggest either 22-24" wheels with no less than 40 series mud-terrain tires.

Oh, and they might rub - just a little:jump:

It's gonna look nice which ever you decide on. But think about this:
Let's just say your doing your girlfriend in the Kmart parking lot and your WIFE rolls thru and spots your rig. You need to make a quick exit and you decide that up and over the curb is your best bet. Then a light bulb goes off in your head that you can't do it without ruining your 5000 dollar wheels. BUSTED. Is your marraige worth a set of low profile wheels:confused:

Good luck on stopping without a brake upgrade, hitting potholes, speed bumps, and driveability should be great too. I'm sure bumps won't be all that noticeable with rubberband tires.

Good points. I?m not planning on ever taking my H2 off road so I don?t mind some loss of performance but the breaking issue is very concerning to me.

How big of a wheel can I get away with without the breaking issue?

What kind of Lasers?

Don't know about the wheel issue. sorry.

Re: Wheel and Tire Recommendations
 

I don?t know anything about lasers but the name sounded cool :D

you people are cruel.... cruel I tell ya...

Laser, I recently put on some 22' KMC Backseats with a 325/50-22 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Still rides smooth, doesn't rub, and haven't noticed any stopping problems. Here in Tampa I really do not have the area to do any offroading...

I'd go no larger than 20's for a daily driver. 18's and 35's is the biggest I've gone personally. I have been in a HUMMER with 22" spinners and the owner upgraded his brakes. $$$$$$

Since it's a street princess and will never see off road, I'd look into tires first to see what sizes are available in the style you want. Someone did have 22's with the limited edition BFG MT tire that looked cool.

You'll have to do search for it though.

Maybe someone from this site is in your area that has a setup like you want and you can go for a ride to see how it's affected before you spend the 3K or more.

Re: Wheel and Tire Recommendations
 

I honestly have not seen any braking side affects...

Again I don't drive it like a vette though...

Re: Wheel and Tire Recommendations
 

I just put on the 24x10 dub big homie wheels with the Kumho 37x14x24 Mud Terrain tire... :perfect10s:

WOW!!! It rides great.. handles great... you wouldn't know the stock tires were not on the truck, except you sit up about 2 inches higher than stock... Not to mention, it looks like about the most bad ass & toughest "blinger" that I have ever seen... (atleast in my town) :)

Its way late here and dark out, but I will snap some pics so everyone can see...

Overall, I really haven't noticed a significant performance decrease, braking or acceleration.. I didn't think either were that great on the stock setup anyways.... but I truly do not think brakes would be something you would have to worry about, unless you were really concerned with performance, or drove like a bat out of hell!

I know your typical H2 driver doesn't go for the bling (:twak:), and uses the truck for offroad and more tougher applications... but I am just a cleaned up city guy that wants the biggest and best for my drive to work everyday... I think the an H2 with 24s, 37" mud terrains, and all the billet chrome will allow me to achieve that goal! :) :beerchug:

Re: Wheel and Tire Recommendations
