i run 20 inch rockstars w/ 37 tires

i had wished i went with 22 inch rims instead..

dont know if it helps, but the 20's left me feeling like they were'nt big enough for me.

Re: rim help?
 

Is it gonna stay on the street or will it see some off road?

If it's all street, go as big as you want...

If you're gonna see a little bit of casual off road, I'd prolly recommend the 20s...to get a little more rubber. If you're going to be doing more 'enthusiastic' off roading, then I'd recommend 18" or smaller...or you'll end up scuffing them up.

First thing I would do is take off that HUMMER sticker on the windsheild.....:crying:
It's up to you if you want to continue on with the chrome theme or start blacking out.

:giggling:

That's one thing that kills me about these trucks...GM put HUMMER/H2 branding all over the place: grill, bumper, doors, tailgate, door sill, steering wheel, license plate bracket, roof rails, inside the hood, hub caps, skid plate...it's a little much, IMO.

There's something to be said for subtlety...especially when the truck itself is so not-subtle. :)

the hummer stick has been off for along time!!! it stayed on for about a month then i realized it was kinda.... gay. took it off and did a tint strip.

im thinking about 22's. still looking into whether to get a 12 inch wide, or 9.5.

and cant decide on 13.50 tire of 12.50.

and she is mainlt a street queen, go into fields everyonce in a while but very rarely have a flexed the suspension

Re: rim help?
 

There is a thread about fender flares on here, you should check it out. The wider you go, the more sh*t will get thrown all over the side of your truck. Even for a street queen it's annoying when your truck is clean and you hit a little puddle and coats the sides of your rig.

Re: rim help?
 

i have seen the thread i think its the e&g flares? they look pretty good but i dont like how they go down further than the body on the front flares, and i dont know about drilling inton the body...

but i know how annoying it is we have a lifted vehicle that does it. and the stock hummer tires do it a little

Re: rim help?
 

I just have a quick question....

Back in the day when I had my '77 lifted to the sky EVERYONE did 15" rims with HUGE sidewalls-now those were lifted trucks. In this day and age everyone puts 20's and bigger rims on their trucks with rubber band tires that looks ridiculous IMO. I just don't understand the point to lifting a truck but putting worthless wheels on it??

Not dogging the thread or anything its just something that boggles my mind. Here in AZ EVERYONE does it!!

Re: rim help?
 

its purely for looks. honestly with a 20 and 37's there is an ok amount of meat in them. 22's and 37s are getting band like which is what i think i want. i used to hate it but somehow i like it now. if i were into offroading and mudding i would for sure have smaller rims. i also think it is a showy thing. the bigger they are the easier to see and admire?

:iagree:
...and I also agree that it's a 'looks' thing. I thought long and hard about even going to an 18, but I figured it was a safe compromise.
