WooHoo, Finally got my new tires. I decided to go with the 35" on stock rims. It sure looks better. The ride is a little more stiff but nothing major, and no noise complains at all so far.
My Pioneer Z2 GPS system arrived and I'm giving the insall a shot on Saturday.

Did you make any suspension upgrades to accomodate the larger tire size? Any rubbing??

The only adjustments I made was when I first got the truck I gave the torsion bars 2 1/2 turns to level the front. After we put the tires on 4 of us bounced the truck around as much as possible and no rubbing, I can't imagine what everyone looking on from the showroom was thnking about us! I spent most of the rest of the evening trying to get something to hit or rub and nothing.

The only time that it will rub is when you take a sharp turn the wheel will rub on the sway bar, after a week or so have a look at the sway bar and you will see how nicely polished it will be.

35s do look pretty awesome, but when I burn up these 33 Deulers, I'm gonna stick with 33s, and go wider and more agressive.  Haven't decided with what, but I got plenty of time.
 
Bonzaiii, looks great.............Kudos!

Tires look good on the rims too.  Are they 315.75.16's ?? Where did you end up getting them?  I haven't found anywhere cheaper than TIRERACK.com so hopefully you'll point me in a better direction for tires.
 
How did you make out with your pioneer install by the way...I was sick the last 2 days and haven't been on.
 
Thanks!

Looks great! How do you like those OEM toplights? I'm curious how they perform.

Looks good, I went with the same tire but 33's. Just WAY TOO MUCH highway driving for me to go any bigger. Your's look great though.

I really like them, much better than I had anticipated. Speaking of those lights I was Installing my Navigation system today and hit the button turning on the lights wihtout knowing it, well the light covers are now little balls of melted plastic!!!

33's are stock for the Adventure Pkg. Standard tires that come on the H3 are 265's/75/16
