Tire and wheel suggestions...
I have a 2005 H2 SUT. Yellow, Chromed out but its missing some nice wheels and tires. I like the stock ones but I want something a bit beefier. I like the KMC XD wheels and I like Toyo Open Country M/T wheels and the Nitto Grapplers.
How big can I go with the tires without having to lift it or sacrifice my steering?
Also, would 20' Inch wheels be adequate?

I just found my next set of wheels... MOTO METAL 909 SKULL with Nitto Grapplers.
Absolutely bad ass.

Re: Tire and wheel suggestions...
with 4.53" back space, they will stick waayyyyy out. You will also need to stick with a 35" tire. 37's with that wheel spec will rub without a lift.
try to find a 9" wide wheel with 4.75 to 5" backspace and you can run a 37 12.50 MT tire and will fit with little to no rub..maybe a slight tbar crank needed.

On stock rims you can run the toyo 37x13.5 m/t but will need to crank the tbars and change the front shocks.

Re: Tire and wheel suggestions...
As I understand it, it's all in the backspacing of the wheel. I bought my truck used with the Fabtech 6" kit already installed. The guy had Toyo 37x13.50x22's on it and it rubbed. The wheels had too little backspacing.
