I think I read 200 posts and thought I knew what to get now I am totally confused.

Last week I just picked up a 07 H3x. I really dont care for the stock 18 inch chrome wheels and tires so I want to get a nicer wheel and bigger more aggressive tire. I would prefer 35's but don't want to lift it or suffer a big mpg loss because I do travel 150 miles per day so I decided to go with 33's.


Now keep in mind I want no rubbing but really don't care if the tires stick out a little...not a lot though
I really like the Toya MT's 33x12.5x18(which should not be an issue. Right?)

Now the wheels. I keep reading about offsets, backspacing, etc. Some wheels just list the offset no backspacing and vice versa. About 99% just have the offset.

I want to go with this Toya tire. So can anyone please let me know what specs I should be looking for in an 18x9 inch wheel so I will have NO RUBBING ISSUES.

Sorry to be redundant by this is really driving me nutz and I want to get my new wheels/tires.

Thanks

Explains backspacing vs. offset, hub-centric vs. lug-centric, etc. The only other thing you might need to worry about is the center-bore size. I can't remember what it is, but do a search on here and you should find it.

For centerbore info, check the H3 Specs FAQ ... stickied at the top of the General H3 forum
