Okay, got the new Cooper tires (37x12.5-17's) mounted on the these rims. The rims are stock width, the tires on the truck now are (38x15.5-20's).

I love the look of the tires and rims but I think they look too thin on an H2 with a liftkit.

Do you guys agree?







Here's what the wheels look like up close.



Sorry for the quality of the pics, they're from my camera phone.

Look way too small to me, 37x12.50 just doesn't look right on a lifted H2. Kind of looks like someone stole yours and you've borrowed these skinny things until you get some more


Remarkably similar tread patterns though. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Remarkably similiar... except I like the sidewall on the Coopers better.

I agree Phil, the tires do look a bit on the small side.

I agree they look small, but I like the tread.

I wish they still made the orange color..its my fave!!!

I didn't take any pics up that close but I will tomorrow. The sidewalls are even very similiar.

TOO skinny for my liking, but i bet they cut the mud real nice, but anyway what matters most is what u think

captainmike 12-28-2005 12:59 PM

I think they look to small not just skinney but not tall enough to fill out the wheel wells.
I think the wheels and tire look great. and It looks liek your going to need some flares no matter what you end up with.

What can I say, I am just used to bigger!

If the truck was not lifted, the tires would look fine. jmho

Mike,

The tires are the EXACT same height... it's only the width that is different.

Also, I already have the flares....granted, they're only the SS flares but nonetheless, they're there.

You can also stick with the Toyos and get 37x13.5x17, this way the tire will be 1 inch wider than the cooper tire.

mstams 12-30-2005 01:46 AM

Tire is definitely too narrow, and the rim is too small for your truck in my opinion.
