MKW M18 wrapped in Toyo Open Country M/T's 35/12.50-18. Absolutely no rubbing with an inch to spare. I'll probably need to adjust the torsion bars up front if I want to do some serious wheeling but even after two H2's, that's never happened.
I can't stress enough getting the right off set on the wheels. To test out whether the tires would fit the tire store ordered a single 18 inch wheel with the "same" off set and back spacing as the MKW's. It rubbed with those wheels, but I have an inch to spare with these wheels.
Morale of the story? Even with the same specs wheels will vary depending on who makes them. Also, with the "other" wheel the tires stuck out of the fender about two inches. With the MKW's it sticks out only 0.5 inches.
Jason sells the correct wheels on this site. Go to the H3 Accessories section and then look at the wheels he offers. I am so glad that i went with the correct wheels. Otherwise, I'd have rubbing and the whole torsion or lift issue. Additionally, I'd be kicking up every darn pebble onto my rear fender.

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?

That pic is stock. I just had them crank it up today to see if the ride would be compromised. With two full turns the ride is stock and it raises it a little. Looks better, I think but rear gap (between the top of the tire and fender) is still 1.5" taller in the back. I hate that stink bug look!

The rims are on this site under H3 accessories. Sorry but I don't know the specs off hand. The tires measure 34.5 inches in height and 13" across.
PLEASE NOTE that after adjusting the torsion bars the tires do rub on the inside bar. I am actually looking at 33/12.50-18 Toyo M/T's to take care of this issue. Also, with the taller tires (35"s) acceleration does suffer.
