20s with 35in tires? That's big! I don't think that would fit without some suspension mods and cutting. I bet the rims in the pic are 18s. If you check out the face book page you will find a guy who was a truck just like this one. He might be able to help you. Good luck! Post some pics when you get your rims on!

Club hummer offroad is the page / look under fan photos.

You do not have to level an H3 to put 35s on it! Those are 20" Rockstar 775s by XD (KMC Wheels).

Awesome!

Thanks for these photos....I was wondering how these wheels look at a black H3...there is another post with a white H3.... it looks great!
Now I also see that the 20" wheels are the best compromise....22" are then already too much....
Just ordered some parts for my H3 and must wait till my wife calms down...but soon I will place my order....20" rims with 35" tires....

level front end and get a 20 inch wheel with 0+/- offset if the offset is positive they will rub a hair if it is negative it will tear up your front end.

Hi i contact the guy who one's this hummer he told me they were 20x8.5" but dosint know the offset... but wen i look up the tire 35x12.5x20" Nitto Trail Grappler it will fit on a 8.5" rim to a 11" rim but but best fitment is 10", i know you can get these wheel's in 10" and that what they recommend for the size of tire... the only thing i am not sure is that maby you have to go with a 20x8.5" because the off set on the 20x10" is maby too mutch... Can anybody help me with this desition...

PS: yes i have a leveling kin on my hummer this was one of the first mod's i did to it and love the stance.. the rear was 28.5" and front OEM was 26.5" so i level the front to 28.0" and the look is awesome.

Thanks Jeff

Tainter are you sure they don't need to be leveled? Most everyone I've seen has a leveled truck if they have 35's. As a matter of fact the biggest reason I see people level their trucks is to go with 35's.

Now I'm just confused as I was planning on going 35's soon.

I may be wrong, but isnt 28 inches too high? Premature wear on the halfshafts, and suspension?

He probably didn't measure from center of the hub. If the back was that high and he didn't mess with it then he sure didn't measure from the right spot. I dunno.
