New H3 owner here... Just put some ProComp 20" wheels on the ride... Chose some wheels with a slight offset to stick the wheel/tire outside of the wheel well a bit. It looks cool on the road, but the spare sticks out further than I'd like. I hadn't thought of that until I saw it. It's only 2" or so, but in my garage, 2" is precious real estate.

Does anyone make a replacement spare wheel mount that would bring the wheel in closer to the body again to account for the off-set?

 

i think you will have to see a fabricator to modify the one you have or make a new one. might be something to mass produce????

 

Surely I'm not the only one bothered by this.... am I?

 

My new wheels hang out of the fenderwells very slightly, and therefore the rear one does too. I noticed it, but..doesn't bother me too much. I would like to know if you find anything, i never have run across anything myself.

 

When I get my new wheels (hopefully before winter gets full swing), I will probably be looking to do the same as I'm looking for some offset but dont have 2" in my garage to spare
If I fab one up, I'll see if I can make a few extra

 

The guys at 4WheelParts said that they make something like this for Jeeps but they hadn't seen on for H3's. I can't imagine it's that big of a deal...maybe there's just not enough demand to make them in quantity?

 

You can always buy your spare with a different offset to be used as a spare only

 

Give it some time. You'll get used to it.

I did.

When I got my new ProComp 6079's, that bugged me a bit as well....Now I don;t even notice it

 

that doesnt sound very hard to make,i could modify your original,that way it still looks factory

 

I'd need to keep an original mount so I can replace the OEM setup when the lease is over. I guess I could check with the Hummer parts guys to see how much the original is (to make sure they don't charge some rediculous amount for a piece of stamped steel).

Thanks for the suggetion/offer, I'll look into the replacement cost so I know what I'm getting into here.
