I was under the impression using this forum was to share useful and obtain helpful information. Advising me that there are "tons" of sets of OEM H3 wheels on ebay is HILARIOUS. I've been to ebay numerous times searching for the specific wheel applicable to my H3T. Yes, there are numerous single rims being sold on ebay, but I'm not about to purchase one rim from four different vendors to complete the set. And it is item/part number 9595907 aluminum, 7 single spoke rim here is the link https://www.gmpartsnow.com/oem-parts...-alloy-9595907 since you state the number its not a GM part #. Lastly, I know back space and offset are two different numbers, perhaps you neglected to check the link I included above which demonstrates how changing the value of the offset affects the back space measurement, here it is again https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?whe...cl=50mm&sr=0mm. The site was able to furnish me with the maximum size tire I can upgrade to,
Hey Mr. I know more than you, the specific OEM wheel your H3T came with depends on what packages and options your H3T came with.
As far as eBay goes, here ya go!
Dear "Tainter", you do not know more than me regarding my H3T and the rims that came on my vehicle. Although a few of the ebay listings match my specific wheel, the majority of the links you provided do not, and you even included a size 18" rim, come on really?
Dear "Choochmalooch", thanks for the reference.
I watched this post closely and
decided to put 35’s on. I went with Atturo
Trail Blade M/T 35/12.50/17s (not a fan of chrome but were already there) These are great almost
no rubbing at all! And I like the tires, for being right under
a grand they have great reviews.

Making a purchase of BF Goodrich Tires, 315/75/16 and I notice the rim width range is 8-11", how will these fit factory OEM rims that are 7.5? I even checked a lower size 305/75/16 and the minimum rim width range is still 8". I've read posts that these tires will fit the h3t, how if the rim measures less than the "minimum" rim width?
Well I've contacted several vendors trying to purchase new tires and they won't sell me the 315/75/16 because of the 16 x 7.5 size of my OEM rim. I am reading other posts where H3 owners state they have purchased this size tire for their H3, are they all running with the 16 x 8.5 OEM rim? This is very discouraging!I'm hoping someone can explain this tire problem I am experiencing.

I think you're making this more difficult than it needs to be for yourself. I bet there are 100+ people here that have 315/75/16's on their factory 16" x 7.5" wheels. I don't think Hummer offered an H3 rim wider than 7.5". I personally have 305/70/18's mounted on Hummer H3 18" x 7.5" wheels. I believe it was Belle tire who mounted them for me. They looked up the specs for that size tire and 7.5" rim was within the guidelines. With regards to all the vendors that won't sell you the tires, that sounds pretty ridiculous. They don't need to approve the rim size you're buying tires for if you're just buying tires. OR, buy the tires online, have them shipped to your house, and you'll find someone to put them on your wheels.
Thanks for the response. I was expecting this to be a simple process, but have been advised by the local Firestone dealer, and Tire Kingdom that the tire would not fit the rim and they refuse to sell them due to safety issues. I was shown the technical data for the tire and the H3 and was advised if they were to sell me the tire and it fails they would be on the hook for selling a product that wasn't within the specs of the tire manufacturer. And the only reason I ask about the 16 x 8.5 is I was shown the technical data that it was available for the 2005-2006 3.5, and then in 2007 it was only available for the 2007-2010 5.3, and I have a 2009 3.5 h3t so I'm curious how others are able to do this with the factory rim if they own a 3.5. I'm going to have to decide if I want to order the tires on-line and hope I can find a reputable garage to install them.
Do you have a Discount Tire nearby? They installed my 315 Duratracs on my stock H3T 16” wheels, no questions asked. Now going on 2 1/2 years and plenty of trips aired down with zero issues.
