Default Got some new wheels


Love the side profile, 20” on 35’s. Stick suspension. Had to raise the front a little by adjusting the torsion bars. Made the ride a little more firm and still a slight scrub at full left and right turn of the front wheels. Makes the speedo read 5 miles lower. I didn’t realize how big they actually were and I didn’t want to go full blow redneck but I think it looks nice and not teenie bopper trashy.

Glad you like them.

Who figured out your offset?

It was sort of a shot in the dark on my end. Wheels are 20 x 12

The brand looks not bad, remember me new Yokohama.

I would love to get the Falken Wildpeak ATW3 in 315/75R16 but impossible to find here

I tried Falken Wildpeak and I DO NOT RECOMMEND, in the snow. My tire distributor took them back @100% concession, and replaced with Grabber AT2

I was looking for a more aggressive tread back in 2012. I was introduced to Falken wildpeak by a rep, and was impressed by the presentation. I drove on them for 2 winters. I noticed in the snow, they were like driving on skates, sliding sideways, and longer stopping distance. I finally gave up on the wildpeaks, after having to take my h3 off road, while trying to make a stop, to avoid rear ending another vehicle(not a good time, since I was driving my wife to work).
I've been driving 5+yrs on my Grabbers, and never a problem!
On a side note, the Grabbers are quieter too.
