(17") It seems the ones I have seen with the 18" setup have been fine. I know that with the proper offest wheel and tire setup that H3 has great AP and DP angles. Also check out how far your bumpstops are form touching in the front. That's how I found out the Tbars were cranked all the way. There's nithing wuite like hitting the brakes hard on the highway and the front dips down a foot.

Good luck with it! It looks great BTW!

How does it ride for you at highway speeds?

The T bars are perfect, before the lift I had it jacked up like mad but with the lift it's fine. As for the steering knuckle and bump stops it seems to be fine as well.

My H3 is a daily driver and brought it on the freeway and got it up to 75 and to me it rides better than stock! It hugs the road better, maybe because the wider wheel base because of the wider rims and backspacing - not sure what it is but it does feel good on the freeway.
