I looked at the H3 for a few minutes today before I headed to the airport. It looks as though it was rubbing on the rear side of the left front fender well. When I turn the wheels all the way I heard it go clunk, clunk, clunk. I poked my head down and looked at the control arms and they were nice and dirty, and I noticed a small rub spot where the mud flap is connected to the fender. I don't think removing the flap would help, the skidmark was on the stock part of the fender well and a little was on the edge of the mud flap overlapping the fender well. So... maybe a 1/2" to 1" lift may fix it. It's minor, just a slight rub, I just have to keep from digging it in, when I hear it I stop turning the wheel, I'm only at that extreme when I'm trying to turn around in a tight area, backing up and then moving forward to get turned around, that was the only time it did it.
Hey HD,
Here are a couple of pics of my tires pretty close to "full stuff" so you can get an idea of how close the tolerances are.
If I remember correctly, we have the same offset but your wheels are an inch wider and the tires are an inch larger in diameter.
Here is the rear.....
And the front........If you can call that a "Stuff".....
BTW: There is a H2 here in my neck of the woods that is running what appear to be 35" or 37" TrXus MT's on stock wheels.
It looks freaking SWEET........No lift....Just the stock wheels........

Those mud pics look like fun. I ran through a little creekbed with maybe an inch of water with that pasty mud, it wasn't more than 3 feet across either. But man those Swampers were throwing chunks of mud 20 feet in the air, they were going everywhere, that was pretty cool, it's good to see these tires seem to self clean pretty well as evidenced by my brief encounter with a bit of mud.
I was wondering what an H2 would look like with the SS Trxus tires and some slick rims, bet it is too sweet.

Beadlock rings, I've been considering get a set for these wheels as they are available. I can get them in chrome like Gunner has or I can get them in black.
I don't know if I want them as I'm pretty happy with the ProComps as they are. I took some time this evening to photoshop some black beadlocks for my H3.
Let me know what you think, do they look better with or without.
WITH BEADLOCK RINGS:
WITHOUT RINGS:

I love my nerf bars, I've got the stainless steel ones but I have to tell you, it looks a lot meaner without them, you get the impression of serious ground clearance without them and I like that look.
I'm going to dump my nerf bars and get the Rockyroad rock rails, look meaner, are stouter and don't cost the ground clearance of the nerf bars...
