Default Re: 17x10 wheel with at least 5" backspacing?

To see a comparison, including warnings of possible suspension and fender clearance issues, you can use this site (which is awesome):

http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

On the left side, where you enter the stock sizes as a base for comparison, you would use the stock 315/70, 17" diameter, 8.5" wide, and 18mm offset/ET (which yields a stock backspacing of 5.5"). On the right side, enter the specs for your new wheel/tire setup. Sadly, the tool doesn't support "high flotation" tire sizes where you use inch measurements for tire diameter and width, but you can at least get a sense for how different wheel setups will look and whether or not they will have clearance issues. Obviously, on the H2, we don't have to worry much about fender clearance, but it's wise to check the suspension clearance.

Good luck, let us know how it goes!
