So hypothetical question... Since 35's fit without cranking the torsion bars and don't rub, could 37's fit if the torsion bars are cranked/fender triming?

My torsion bars have been cranked ~2 inches for the past 3000 miles. The ride is quite a bit harsher, but I actually like the higher stance and the rougher ride. I want to put some 37 bfg all-terrains (36.6 inch actual height) on. Kacyk, you said you have an extra inch, plus lets say 2 inches for the cranked torsion bars...Do you think they might fit? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Even with the 35's it's very tight, especially at full crank fo the steering wheel. I'll post some better pics to show how massive these 35's look on the H3. I am getting compliments left and right. Also, many people who are not familiar with Hummers are mistaking it for an H2. The bigger tires give the overall look of the truck tons of mass. I can't believe how much bigger the truck looks just because of the tires.

As for 37's, I don't recommend it without a lift. Also, there's the power issue. It takes a lot more effort out of the 5-Banger to get those massive tires rolling. I really think 35 is the limit.

Let me post some better pics and I think you'll be happy with the 35's. I imagine 35/12.50-18 Nitto Mud Grapplers to look sinister on this rig. The only draw back is the damn noise. But then, you might like that.

Here's a pic of the Nitto Mud Grappler tread that was on my first H2.
