Anyone modding their H3 for offroad has at least 285/75-16. I run a 295/75-16 and many of the offroaders go up to 315/75-16. I don't think too many people go beyond that without putting on lifts or other significant modification.

I run a 33"x12.50R16 and that is about how large you can go without lifting the truck. 35"s can be put on a standard H3 but they will rub when turning and going off road. Remember you don't see how much the rear tires move when your off road but trust me in saying that you need all that room in the wheel well.

I think to be safe, I'd figure on clearance for a 35 inch diameter tire, as that is getting more and more common these days.
There are a few folks running up to 37 inch tires, but probably not enough to warrant incorporating
that amount of clearance into your design.
Some slots for auxiliary back-up lights would be a nice touch as well.
Can't wait to see what you boys at ARB have got up your sleeve.

I'd make it to fit up to 35" tyres.
Most people are running 33-35" tires.
Are you going to have room for a gas can?
Any other news on ARB items for the H3?

Speaking of ARB, I just received an ARB catalog today.......I don't think there's anything in there for a H3 (or any "H" for that matter). Great catalog - super stuff, I should never have gotten it, now I'm miffed 'cause I can't buy anything.
