new tires and rims

Finally was able to get everything done yesteray and here is the result. I am running 18" x 9" pro comp 1079s
with 35" Nitto mud grapplers. Took me 2 full days of deciding which combination was right. I think this is a good one. This forum was a big help to me in my decision making process. It took a lot of reading old posts, but it was worth it. Forgot to mention there is a 2" leveling kit on my truck to accomodate the larger rubber.

looks tough

I like that look a lot! Matches the H3 perfectly!

Very aggressive looking. Truck is entirely too clean.

Very aggressive look. Don't get me wrong,its not my style but ilike the look for sure.

gah, that truck is awesome looking. if i end up getting 35's those will be the ones i get

Looks awesome!!

SAAWEEETT!

thanks everyone for the kind words, if I am able to fit 3 pics on 1 post I will show the evolution of my ride from when I first bought it to the 33" Mickey Thompsons to now.

Nice looking ride.....Welcome to the forum

Looks very nice..How does it handle on the road compared to the 33's?

SteveO, the Mickeys ran like stock tires, i have only had these for a day and a half, they feel a little chunkier and the noise is a different one. The MTs would hum, at 30 mph these sound like a swarm of bees and at 50 mph it sounds like you are riding in a single prop airplane. I originally was going to get 35s when I bought it , but my brother talked me out of it. he said the rears would not be able to handle it, in his defense he was wrong about the gearing.

Unfortunately he is not that far off, the rear can handle it, it's the front you have to worry about, the front diff is the problem like many know, the gears are rated for a max of 33" tires.
I'm running Toyo 35's, I've blowen my front diff already, my suggestion to you and any others with 35's is when off roading try not to over spin the front wheels and you'll be OK

Good advice......

Sweet set of wheels and tires! I also have the same set of wheels (16" 1079) with 35" Mickey T's. 

nice job, i like the look!

Any more pics.How far do they stick out?

looks good

Nice setup. I've got the same tires and I really like 'em so far. Maybe its the wheel design but your 18"s look as big as my 20"s! Are your bumpers painted or lined? Maybe you just armoralled 'em pretty good cause they look dark!

Great looking H3 Tankman, and yea, like the other poster asked,, more pictures would be nice, front, back and close ups of the wheels and tires,,,,,,,, please.

Dam those things look wicked, did they effect the drive or gas...

Look cool, but gotta suck up low and early mid range power and knock MPG?????  
 
Wonder what the actual numbers are 32/33" vs 35"s for MPG, 0-60, and 60-0?  Just wondering, but they do look good.

Looks good man!

If I can get this in one post I will, here is a close up of the tires and hopefully a 3/4 view. I will post a pic of the back later and then another one after i put the 5th wheel on the back. I have to get it mounted first. As for the gas, I have not had the tires on for a full week yet. I will let you know. the ride is in my opinion 95% the same as stock.

oops, I forgot moabxj's question. Just armorall on the bumpers, I am a bit of a clean freak.
