New wheels on order....should have them next week!! When I get them on, i'll be sure to post pics.

My question is, do I go 18x33 or 20x35? also, does anyone have experience with rubbing on the 35's? My H3 is stock right now. No leveling kit and torsion bar settings are stock. Haven't made any changes yet...what do you all reccommend?

18 and 33's will not require any leveling kit or torsion adjustment. That is what I went with. I love it, but I know it would look better with 35's. From what I have seen/heard you will need to level with 35's. There are a lot of guys on here with 35's, I'm sure they will chime in shortly.

My opinion, stay with 18's if you are going to go with the larger (35) tire. I think it looks more aggressive and will certainly perform better offroad.

Dude!!! Those look AWESOME! Can't wait to see the Pic's What's the offset/back space?

I'd go 18/33 still ok gas mi & can still go a little offroad.

I like the 18/35 idea...seems like it would give a little extra sidewall for offroad prowess. What do most people run for backspacing when using a 35" tire?
