I'm not sure how the shop blacked out the lights. I took it to my bodyshop. I know it is some kind of clear coat paint that they put transparent black in.

Thanks for the prompt response!
Sorry to ask another question, but in your own opinion and regardless of garage clearance issues, if you could choose between a 35/12.5/20, 35/13.5/20 or a 325/60/20, what would you choose and why?

Sorry if it's an odd question, it's just that you have these tires and I'm looking for something similar.

Thanks!

First and foremost look at the wheel you are considering and the backspacing. I know people on here run 37s with no lift and it depends on your exact H2 (all ride a bit different) but there is no way with the backspacing on the rockstar that I could even come close to running 37s or 13.5 with out some lift or considerably altering the torsion bars (think long and hard before you start cranking on them, it changes things). As I currently sit (stock ride height) I rub when I turn hard if the surface is not 100% level. Also, I am a clean freak and the littlest bit or water on the road covers the side of the truck. Hopefully that helps you make a decision.

This might help as well to give you a better perspective of just how far they stick out. They stick out past the tube bars.

I can't tell you how helpful you've been! Thanks for the pic, looks fantastic!! Sorry to ask many questions, but what is your offset on the Rockstars? And would a 325/60/20 be similar to your tire size?

Thank you for your help.

I want to say 4.5 inches, for some reason that number sticks in my head. SOMEONE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG PLEASE!

Yea that's pretty damn close that's going to be 35.4x12.8x20 so just slightly bigger.

[blockrockin]

yeah your right they are 4.5 i have the same ones. love them ! your rig looks awsome !

This is the rim I've gone with. It's ATX Vice, 20x10 with 0 offset. I don't know what backspacing is so I'm not sure what it would be for this wheel.

I am running 37x12.5x18 BFG KM's. My offset is Stock. My T-Bars are Mildly Cranked "maybe 1 inch but no more than 2". I have no rubbing EVER. Also keep in mind that when you increase your offset you also will tend to eat up your hubs much faster.

Just my $0.02

Thanks for your input Eric. The new rims have 0 offset but a backside of 5.5. Would you mind explaining what "hubs" are?

Much appreciated,

Very nice! Love that color!

It just depends on the look you are going for. Before the H2 I had a tahoe that was completely blacked out with no chrome except for the lip of the wheel becuase I wanted some contrast. The H2 has a little bit of chrome so I didn't care for the xtra accent on the wheels. Also, keep in my where you live and the weather and how ofter you wash the wheels. The chrome lip is going to need a bit more of attention than an all black to keep looking good.

The Teflon is also going to last longer and look better, scratches and wear and stuff . . .
