Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

20x14 any one running them any problems?

Default 20x14 any one running them any problems?

I just bought a 2005 Hummer H2 and want to slap on some new shoes.

I know some people are not into that wide deep dish wheels but I hope I can still get some help.

The wheels I am looking at are Fuel hostage wheels. Black and brushed combo. They are 20x14.

My question is will this jack up my suspension? I had a chevy avalanche with 20X12 and after three years my front suspension needed to be replaced. Some folks told me that because the H2's are 3/4 ton that I would not have the same problem as its more heavy duty.

I was hoping to get some help with people that drive these vehicles and know more about them. IF you could help please I would appreciate it.

Since now I have a payment I don't want to mess up my vehicle ride.

Thanks in advance!!

14" seems too wide for a stock H2...

I have not got them yet just test fitted.
I have my doubts so I thought I would ask here for some more info.

Will these throw my front end out fast? Or is the hummer beady enough
To run these with no issues.

I had 355/70/17 (37 inchers) on them. 355 is 14 inches wide.
Your suspension will go toast because of it.
Hydrobooster messed up, bearings broke and it needed a new idler and pitman arm All this at around 60k.
I went back to 35's. Not as beefy looking maybe but drives a lot better.

Do you think 37" 315 will create the same headache?

Those wide rims will throw what ever you drive through up in the air 20ft and all over the sides of your truck. And I would think wear the front hubs out pretty quick. But when you replace the hubs buy the lifetime warranty ones and then you could run those wheels. Might have to change wheel hubs every other oil change... An eagle eyed state patrol officer might hassel you about the tire sticking out past the fender too.

probably somewhat less. I liked the look of the 355's though but in the end it wasn't worth it.
I wished they made a 36 inch tire 335/70/17 would have been great.
I now have the closest one in 325/70/17

Why widen as much out? Looks better on wheels expands in. .. You have to small tires on that rims ..
