Hi guys I apologized for this question that might sound pretty newbie to you but to be honest I am as far as this stuff is concerned.



My 08 H3 is currently on a 305 45 22 Tires, now I plan to get more rubber and get the OEM 265 65 18...

Can I just purchase an OEM tires and keep the wheels on it???


Thanks a lot for your input.

 

You can't put a 265 65 18 tire on a 22 inch wheel. You can only put that on an 18 inch wheel.

 

Last number of the tires will always be the rim size.

In your case as stated; 18 is for 18 inch rims only.

 

A 265/65/18 tire will be SMALLER diameter by about 1.3" than the 305/45/22 tires you have now.
You have about a 33" tire now.

Are you trying to keep your 22" rims?
How big of a tire diameter do you want to go to?
Once you tell us that, then we can suggest a tire size for you.

 

Thanks for your reply. Yes i want to keep my wheels but I also want to get more rubber this this time than that of my previous low profile tire. Which tire would work??? Thanks

 

Any help taken from here will be much appreciated

 

without a lift you will struggle to get any more tire as right now you are running what equates to a 33" tire on an h3. With a leveling kit you can run up to a 35" tire.

 

False on both counts.

You can get a 35" tire on an stock H3 with no problem, even without "leveling".

And you don't need a "leveling kit". You can just adjust the torsion bars to level an H3, no extra hardware needed.

 

Dude the best I can find is a 305/50R/22 from Toyo they say it's an all terrain tyre and it's 34" tall.

 

I have a torsion bar adjusted and my H3 was leveled nicely.

All I need to know is using my current 22" Rim I wanted to shift from low profile tire to a more rubber ones...so which TIRE can you recommend.


Thanks so much to all who responds....
