Hey,

This is out of curiosity. How do u guys think the H3 would look like with the Rims of the Ford F150 SVT Raptor and the tires as well?

Thanks in advance,

BumChuck

Other than a totally different bolt pattern, different back spacing, etc. They would fit great?

Now here are some great tires for offroading...NOT. Poor Hummer. 31 inch rims, 3 inch tires. They are probably spinners too.

I don't tow anything too heavy so going to 315's made no difference.
You will get a slight rub on the sway bar only at FULL turn right or left. I usually only notice it when I am pulling a tight U-turn or a sharp turn into a parking space. It doesn't bother me at all.

And you do not need to level a H3 to fit 315 tires (but it looks so much better). They will fit just fine on OEM rims. It's when people put on aftermarket rims with the wrong backspace that rubbing issues show up.

If you plan on towing a heavy trailer you should go with 285/75/16 or 305/70/16 tires. Both are 33" diameter tires, 285's are approx. 11" wide, 305's are approx. 12" wide.

Well I took off my buckshot mudders and put on cooper at3 to say the least these tires are completely junk. So bad that my wife said to park it and drive our awd lexus. I have had a tire as bad as these. I have aired them down to 28 lbs to help, it has helped but only a little. I have ran yokohama ats they were good and the same with the buckshot's, I am going to remove these in a few weeks and out BFG's on it. Ran them on all my other 4x4's and they were good and no trouble

In what way were they junk? How many miles did you put on them before calling it quits?

I only have about 5,000 miles on them it slides all over the roads. It used to stick like glue, very very loose. to look at them you would think they would be good but they are not. I just let my wife drive it in the snow and her response was OMG take those tires off.
