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.

New Rims and tires!!!!!

Night and Day improvement - way better. Looks awesome.

37's on stock ride height are gonna rub, there's nothing you can do about the rub - except try to go real slow when turning at full crank.

$150 seems high to mount and balance four wheels to me.

Depends what type of warranty was included. My local shop will charge a little extra for mounting/balancing but will balance them for the life of the wheels for free. They will also do free tire repair if you're a regular. I'd rather pay a little extra and know they'll take care of me down the road.

I said the same, but he did a great job so I can't complain. They run straight and smooth even moving 80 on the highway.

I would spray paint the hub if you are going to run them without the center caps.

That is a bit high. as a tire store manager here in the greater los angeles area I can tell you I'd charge 100. maybe 110 if I have to supply valve stems.


Looks great though!

How has it been driving with the new wheels with the stock gearing? Do you see any need to re-gear?

Not the best. The low end lost a bit of pick up, which was expected. (I don't know much about gearing but...) It seems like my highway got much better I used to maintain close to 3000rpm on the highway at 65-70, but with the 37's Im only at around 2300rpm. I would like my low end power back tho :/

OK thanks. I really like the look of your rig and was researching a little before I went for the 37"s. I don't want to trade my low end for high end power. Sounds like I'll have to regear if I put the bigger wheels on.
