My Hummer dealer told me that the chrome rims couldn't fit the 33's. They're the same dimension as the adventure package rims, so I don't see why 33's wouldn't fit. Know anything about this?

Sorry, I did have the tire store turn the torsion bars twice around to give it a little lift up front. The gain was marginal. I leave on a business trip in the morning and won't be back till Friday. I'll post some pics Saturday.  </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
So, are you saying that the tire shop turned up the T Bars and you now ave one inch to spare?
OR
Did you turn them up since those pics and now have more room?

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. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Any updates with 33's? Pics?

Agreed, The 35s look GREAT! 
Now go wheel the damn thing. Dirt, dents and scratches wash right off.  |

That is the only aftermarket wheel/tire combo I have like so far. 20"s are just too big for an off road vehicle (well maybe not Bigfoot or a lifted H2).

kacyk,
How wide are the wheels and what offset, backspace?
Your truck looks great!
Thanks,
Bob

Here's the link with pics and comments about my new 33's.
http://elcova.com/groupee/forums/a/t...5/m/1271064341
If I could do it all over again I would have bought the stock chrome rims and just added these BFG's in a 295/75-16. It would be about 33.5 in height, no rubbing, wide, aggressive, quiet, and great for wheeling and all season traction.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by H3H:
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.

Just curious, what did you do for your spare tire? Did you get a 5th? I wonder if it would fit on the tire carrier.

Hmmm...the power issue is something to consider, I'm just curious if they'll fit without major rubbing...
Sure look like they would be able to fit if the front end was evened up with the back (like on my truck)

Agreed, this is the perfect set of wheels for the H3 - nice job!
1. Kacyk, do remember how the road noise was with the stock tires compared to these?
2. Anyone know if there are 35s that fit over the stock rims?

I just left the cover on my stock spare. You won't be able to see out the rear window...or at least not much.

Man, 37's with a 2 inch torsion lift is going to be hell on your front end. The best way to check would be to do what I did. Have a tire store get a wheel with the right back spacing and try a 37" MTR (or ?). Whis way, you'll know for sure. But, you're going to be flooring it all the time to get at speed.
