37" tires?
anybody work at a tire shop (or know somebody at one) that has tried to put them on a stock 3? Of course, it would have to be torsion cranked. I have a theory that a skinny 37" may fit. say 37x10.5-12.5. I come from the Land Rover world, so tall and skinny tires look and function great. The theory being that there is ample room for 2 more inches up and down, left and right would be tight; but skinny may work. the advantages are clear: an additional 2" of ground clearance (over 33" stock tires). any input?

Re: 37" tires?
I doubt the front diff and the I-5 would hold up well with 37" tires
What are you thinking? Michelin XCLs?

And make sure that you can tolerate truly slow acceleration as your H3 will become especially gutless.

Re: 37" tires?
top speed in the LR was 80 mph, so the h3 is a camaro in comparison
mind you, that was with a v8. damn those motors suck; but duct tape, bubble gum, and tampons is all you need to fix one.
but, I'm really just thinking outloud, outside the box.
