325/60/R20 Tires?

[joedirt]

Anyone running 325/60/R20's on their H3 with just the torsion bar tweak or truxx lift?

I don't think anyone has tried it yet.

Good luck if you do. The only issue will be gearing. Are you thinking about using the stock wheels? I would use a 16" wheel with a better offset to make your truck's footprint a little wider.

Not sure if the gearing will be such an issue compared to clearance. I had a 98 Jeep Wrangler I-6 with 36 inch Super Swampers and 4:56 gears and had no problem with power, but thinking about it, the jeep weighed a lot less than the H3. I don't plan on using the stock wheels. I saw an H3 with 18" wheels and 35" Kumho AT tires at my dealership...looked pretty good. The 325/60/R20 might be overkill.

My friend put BFG 325/60/20 on his H3 with 2.5 torsion bar turns.

Not sure how it equates, but here's a pic of mine, which are probably real close to the size your wanting. They are 35x13.5x20 on 4" lift:

Thanks for the pics guys! I have a couple of questions though:

1. Is there a lot of rubbing with the 325/60/20 tires?
2. What is a good offset for the wheels, that will give it a nice aggresive stance without sticking wayout and slinging rocks?
3. Lastly, I know that many on the site went with the 315's on 16 inch stock wheels and said that the mileage loss was small; but, how is it with 35's on 20inch wheels? I Really don't want to get 10-12 mpg again.

Thanks...

More reasonable tire sizes with no rubbing and less impact on mpg and acceleration:

305/50/20 (closer to 32", is what I'm using)
305/55/20 (closer to 33")


20" x 9" wheels with 30 offset (mm I think is how it's measured). Plenty agressive stance.


Just my 2 cents.

Very nice. I want a set.

Where did you purchase your rims?
If on the web please post the url.

Thanks,
