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.

Talking New Rims and tires!!!!!

Finally!!

After waiting for the rims and waiting and saving up for the tires I finally got them on 37/12.5/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers wrapped around Fuel Revolvers. I was so excited to put them on today, the hour ride home from work took FOREVER!! Took some pics for fun along the way

Now for the questions...
I'm noticing a decrease in power on take off, is that normal?
I have air ride in the rear, should I be worried it will damage it?
I'm rubbing a bit in the front wheel well at full turn, any recommendations?

Looks Great! No better feeling than new wheels and tires. Decrease in take off is normal and I noticed the same on mine. You've added rotational weight so your always going to notice a slight decrease in power and even mpgs.

I LOVE those tires, can't wait to throw a set similar on mine. Also I really like the tires pushed out a little. With my offroad flares the stock wheels look dumb tucked in so much. What backspace/offset did you end up going with?

I'm not sure if I'd have picked those, seeing the pics in the box I couldn't picture them mounted. However, seeing them on your H2 they look fantastic. A great choice.

Thanks guys, i'm really happy with the way it came together. I was worried the rims would look cheap or be to flashy. I drove it today on a 120 mile trip to Boston and back. Average MPG went from 11.5 to just around 10

This is a -12mm offset. They clear the sway bar which is a great but now im getting some rubbing on the fender at full lock. Gonna have to get a set of those flares to keep the daily mud off. lol

Looks good, but I am wondering how they would look without the center caps...

Default Nice Rig

I'm actually looking at the Fuel wheels for my 2008 alpha. You did a great job in your selection
