I dont do that much off roading but i do live in a small town where you have to go off road at some times. I was thinking of 33" iroks with 20" XD monsters chrome

Muddydawg75 -> RE: IROK'S ? (5/21/2008 4:49:15 PM)

33's with a 20" wheel is just asking for issues, IMHO.... not to mention that it would look asinine...

spaustin889 -> RE: IROK'S ? (5/21/2008 7:38:30 PM)

you might want to research your tires a bit better. definitely doesnt seem like you need an extremem off-road tire for what you are doing, especially since you will only be running a 33'' tire (dont do a 20'' rim with a 33 either)


if i were you, id run a 33'' tire with a 15'' rim, or go to a 35'' tire and run a 17'' rim with some sort of mud terrain or all terrain tire




iroks wear very poorly, and are not well known for their use in mud, mostly on the rocks

Did you mean a 16" rim? 15" won't fit on the H3 unless you run your ride without brake rotors. [:D]

3hummers -> RE: IROK'S ? (5/21/2008 9:00:03 PM)

Never had Iroks so no idea about them

ReconH3 -> RE: IROK'S ? (5/21/2008 11:12:05 PM)

I have IROKs on my home made rig. They are excellent for offroad. On road they are noisy and wear out fast. Don't go 20" on 33's. If you must go 17", but it's better to stay with 16". IROKs are directional, which means that your spare will only work on one side of your H3. You could drive on them on the wrong side, just to get you to a workshop where they would swap it around.

1.  Iroks only come in 36" or larger.
2.  Not a good tire for mostly street use.
3.  20" rims are stupid
4.  20" rims with a 33" tire are even more stupid.

If you just want the aggressive look, and you don't care about onroad handling, look at the Interco TrXus MT.  Otherwise stick with an AT or a well-mannered MT like the Toyos, ProComps, or new BFG KM2s.

You got it Bro, 20" wheels are for Wiggers and Semi Trucks.  Your H3 needs a 16" wheel with the proper backspacing and a 33-35" tire unless you have a 4" Rancho lift.

i meant to say 15'', but after thinking about it you're right, you cant run a 15'' rim on an h3


17'' rims are becoming the standard for offroad now a days. there will be plenty of tire selections available in a 17'' rim. 16'' rims will be a little harder to find tires for, although many companies will still have a 16'' rim

rhill20 -> RE: IROK'S ? (5/22/2008 6:35:49 PM)

From what it sounds like you NEED, just get a 33" A/T. I'm running the BFG A/T as is alrock. For "mild or occasional" off roading I think they will do just fine.

RealJeep -> RE: IROK'S ? (5/23/2008 6:11:10 AM)

Hey Rich,
That kinda surprises me that you run A/T's in Ohio.  Doesn't that thick, goopy Ohio clay gum them up real bad?  When I lived in Alabama that red clay would turn anything less than a Super Swamper into big red donut! 

JeepeaterH3 -> RE: IROK'S ? (5/27/2008 8:23:32 PM)

irok= amazing! they actually last quite a bit on road. boss has em on his h1

Sorry, don't know how I missed this one RJ. If I didn't drive the dang thing on the road so much of course I would have something different on it. But for the amount of paved miles I have to drive it on and the tire fund that I have, it just didn't make sense to me to go with anything else. Besides, they did just fine in the mud run I was in. I'm sure if I had some M/T's on it would have done even better, but I made it all the way through. And there were guys with SuperSwampers that didn't. Ideally I'd like to take my wife's spare set of rims we have in the corner of the garage and throw some Swamper's on them. Just waiting for that stimulus check [;)]

The tires didn't look too bad for what they are:
