Got my new wheels and tires! 35" Mud Grapplers!

[moabxj01]

BEFORE:



AFTER:



They are 35x12.50R20 Nitto Mud Grapplers. I cranked the torsion bars to get the front end close to level. I'm very happy with the look.

I still have a few more things to install and then I will take some better pictures.

Looks great, makes me want to add those to the To-Do list when I can finally get my Alpha.

Lookin Good!
How many rotations did you crank the T bars?

[Big Dad]

Looks good!

[moabxj01]

It took about 6.5-7 turns...I still have another .5"-.75" before it sits level but I think I'm just going to leave it where its at.

[Slammed Vette]

How far do they stick out?Looks awesome!!!

[moabxj01]

They only stick out an inch or two. I'm not a fan of wheels that stick way out there but I think these look just right...imho anyway. I'll try to get some pics from the front and back soon but it may not be till I get back from Moab on monday.

Would you happen to know the backspacing of the wheels?

[moabxj01]

I don't know the backspacing but I'll try and find out tomorrow. I didn't make it to moab this weekend so I did some crawling in my driveway






I am planning on going to moab this upcoming weekend but who knows, that may not happen either

After upgrading to 35"s can the 33" still be used temporarily as a spare without torqing out the drivetrain.....???

[homeboy]

that is one sweet looking hummer,im looking at buying those tires also what do you think of them so far?

[moabxj01]

Well they are definitely loud going down the highway, they make it sound like you are riding in an airplane. But I really don't think the ride is any worse than it was with the stock tires. Although I only drove on the stock tires for a week. I haven't had them offroad yet so I don't know about that. So far I like them.

What size wheels are those ???

Cheers

[moabxj01]

man your rig looks hot

my 315/75/16 toyo oc mt's just arrived today for my stock rims but my tire guy was booked this afternoon, so ill try to get them on tomorrow.

Damn these things are big, you guys absolutely positively sure they will fit???? I have the truxx leveling kit (i know some of you think its crap but its on there). I rolled one up and sat it beside the 3 and it looks like its going to be a pretty tight fit!!! But if it works itll look soooooo fing sweet

[moabxj01]

I don't have a leveling kit and mine fit fine. I just cranked my tbars a bit.

sweet thanks moabxj01 i had them delivered to office today and when i got back from the feild i loaded em up and man they look sweet. cant wait to get em on there. I was wondering if it would be worth the money to add a catback or any other "power adder" to help the I5 push em down the road. I dont think itll be that much of a difference and i doubt you can add too much unless you go with something like a supercharger or something crazy like that, but just curious if anything out is worth the money? Ive read alot about the Corsa but its pretty expensive compared to others. Kind of like the Gobi rack. But with the Gobi I know you get what you pay for, same true to exhuast?

well had the new 315/75 toyos put on the stock rims friday and man the look sweet on the truck. its unbelievable how much better the rig looks with some real tires on there. They do hit the sway bar at full lock seems worse when turning left, but the truck turns so sharp anyways its not a problem. took the ol lady mall crawling this weekend (didnt tell her how much they were just that I needed ones and she didnt complain so she deserved it) and even she didnt complain about the minute humm on the highway. but she did say they were a little big, haha women. they really are almost as quite as the sock wranglers and the look is every bit as good as i thought it would be. also the trip home is just under 200 miles and then some driving around town and not once did i feel a difference in power. Im not a race car driver and I know my H3 isnt a race car, that might have something to do with that. But anyways, half a tank to get home just like before so the mpg must not have changed all that much either. Did math got 16.6mpg (and thats not factoring in the difference in the new tire size) used to be between 17 and 18.
Thanks to all on the forum for the help. pictures will come tomorrow after work if i can find where i stuck my camera. brush guard lights should be here in a week or so too. might have some questions for installing them too. you guys rock, thanks.
