Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
Chales06, all the difference in the world is the offset of the wheels. H2Much is running Rockstars, those are 20x12 WITH a -44mm offset, that means they stick out outwards more giving those sick 40s some room to roll, plus do the math... think of a fat chick trying to pull a Beyonce move in a skinny jeans... it ain't gonna work and definitely not gonna look good. you need to give a 15.5" wide tire some room to play, 9" is not enough (that's what she said!).
What you're running is only 20x9... with a -12mm offset....... Honestly my friend (IN MY OPINION!!!!) you should never run anything less then a -24mm with a 10" wide wheel with equivalent tire thickness to go with it if you want your rig to look ... like this guy >
Just my $0.02.

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
That's what I figured. The offset on my KMC Hoss's is pretty good, but I still need spacers to fit a 13.5" tire on the carrier. I didn't think the Rockstars' backspacing was that much more than the Hoss's. I'll have to look it up.

They're 2 different size 20" Rockstars... 20x10 with -24mm and 20x12 with -44mm.... which IMO it looks way sicker..

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
The important part is the backspacing, not the offset. Offset is measured from the outside of the wheel to the hub, so a wider wheel will always have a higher offset. Backspacing is measured from the hub to the inside of the wheel.
In other words, two different wheels can have completely different offsets, but if their backspacing is the same, ideally, they should fit the same...I think.
My eyes just crossed...

i detail cars, so the first thing i notice about a car is how hard or easy it is to clean it. and i must say, the hummer is by far the hardest to clean/detail of any other trucks/suv i have owned. your truck looks great though.

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
Torsion Keys up front and some custom spacers in the rear along with 37's. I didn't want to go overboard like I did with my Jeeps...keep the Hummer a good street performer and make it a little bit better looking. I'm happy with the size it sits at right now. Looks close enough to stock but more aggressive Of course there where some other mods I had to do with the rear, like modify the trackbar to center the axle and of course shocks. Indy

did you go with the green keys? how much did you lift the front? i have th green keys, but im waiting till i get my 37's before i do more of a lift. but i was wanting to do about 2-3" up front and then a 2" spacer in the rear with all new shocks all the way around. you have the perfect look with yours.

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
I don't recall the company who made the torsion keys for mine, but it sits about 2.5"-3" higher...hard to say, since all the torsion bars are adjusted a bit differently from the factory. Just make sure there is still some axle drop present...there is a metal bump stop which will limit its downward movement and you want some gap there. Rear are 3" spacers. Cheers, Indy.
