Re: tires and wheels
this is 37 inch BFG KM2 on 20x10 Rockstars
personally, i wish i would have gone a step up and gotten 22x10
i dont 4x4.. yet.. but really plan on it..24x10 or above i personally start to frown on, but thats my opinion.. but it depends on taste of rims.
this is stock, with Cognito UCA that is supposedly a 2-3 inch lift, but honestly i dont see it. i have the T bars cranked nearly to max. maybe about 2 full turns left on each side.
very slight rubbing when full cranked left. no rubbing cranked to the right.
no rubbing when hitting slight grades ( driveways, potholes and dips in the road at a decent speed)
i can lower the T bars a couple of turns, but then i get some rubbing when i hit my driveway when i pull in, and when the wife is with me.. she starts bitching cuz she thinks its because of her weight.
i could solve this more by removing more of the inner wheelwell plastic, but im too lazy to do that, and it is easier to leave the T bars cranked....

Re: tires and wheels
I've got 22x12 on 37" toyo MT. I would have gone with 24x12 but I do wheel mine every once in a while.

Re: tires and wheels
Roushdemon has the 20x12's on one of his Hummers (or truck he had?) and they look awesome! I think he has 35" tires on there and doesn't have any issue with rubbing.
I'm running 37x13.5" Toyo MT's on factory wheels with 'green' tbar keys and have very, very minimal rubbing at full lock. If I was going to buy larger aftermarket wheels, and they were rockstars, I would definatly buy the 20x12's

You bought those from Jaymanely, with a 08 solar flare slant back... I didn't own a hummer last year
Besides, I like my 37" Toyo's better

you have to perform unmentionable things before you can buy them.......
i bought my from Tires Plus and they matched ebay prices..
$214 each 20x10
came with locking lug nuts as well.
didnt have to pay shipping, but after taxes it would have been the same if i bought online. |
