Re: tire height
Tim,
If you have 1.25" of clearance now and you want to go from a 35" to a 37" tire it will only raise your veh. by 1", so it "should" fit. (When you figure the radius of a circle or tire, if it's 2" taller, 1" is on the bottom and 1" is on the top. If you went to a 4" higher tire it would only raise your hummer by 2", etc.) The thing you have to be careful of is what the actual diameter of the tire is. You really need to go measure the tire you want to buy. Example: a BFG mud terrain that they measure as a 35" tire is actually only 33" in diameter. Conversely when you measure a Toyo tire when they say it's 37" in diameter it is actually 36.5". It all depends on which company makes the tire. I can tell you this: I just changed over from 35x12.5x17 BFG's to 37x13.5x17 Toyo M/T's and before I had about 2 1/2" of clearance. Now I have about 1/4" clearance. I just barely squeak that baby in now, but it fits and that's all that counts. Bottom line is your gonna have to measure the tire yourself, do the math and hope for the best. Les Shwaub Tires let me take the Hummer home with the new tires to see if it fit in the garage and if it didn't they offered to take the 37"s back and change me over to 35"s. Give it a try. Good luck.
