Hello and Welcome from MI.

There are tons of threads on tires size for the H3/H3T. Please take some time and use the "search" tab at the top of the page. Read some of the posts and post up if you do not find the information you are looking for.

tripper, all the I5 H3 models have the same suspension whether Base, Lux, Adventure or H3X and can fit 35's without a lift. Rubbing will depend on the actual tire brand and a Tbar crank may actually cause a rub where it didn't before. The Championship Edition/Alpha H3's have higher rate torsion bars but the same suspension geometry otherwise. So it really doesn't matter which H3 you have, they all can take the same tires. With a Daystar 1" body lift you could run 37's but they will weigh a ton and will cause trail damage sooner rather than later and you might decide the gearing is too high for the hwy with them.

If you can return those indexing keys and get your money back, do it !
As you have read here, they are not neccessary, just do the torsion bar level.
Indexing keys = waste of money.

Hell, I'm surprised ! On other sites you would have had at least 20 cranky meatsacks posting "The search function is your friend" comments !!! Not here though, only one and it wasn't mean at all. Half-hearted effort out of tradition likely. Must be on the right forum !!!

Now, to answer your question: The search function is your friend !

Sorry, had to....

I just put 315/75/16 (35's) on mine last week. No rubbing even at full lock, reverse, and fat mother-in-law riding shotgun. Could have easily gone 37" with my brand, but as stated above, you wouldn't go anywhere very fast at all. 35's suck the life out of the I5 engine.

Once my Bell Jet Ranger swap is complete, I'll probably do the 37's, and may upgrade the brakes.

Oh, and welcome from me too !!!
