Anybody have 325/65r18 (35x12.50) tires on their H3?

Btw I like what you did to your fenders. Its a great way to hide all the carnage the fenders get from all the debris flying off the front tires

Whats the offset of your wheels? Can you please post more pics?

Saw that I wrote mud grapplers, actually it is the trail grapplers.
Don't know the offset got them through SD wheelcorp and just told them it is for a H3

Guys,
DO NOT get fixated on Offset numbers. Offset will be different on different width wheels.
The important dimension is BACKSPACE.
Backspace on OEM H3 wheels is 5.75".
You want to stay close to that number to insure clearance for the wheel and steering components, brake calipers, etc.
A larger backspace will cause inner wheel clearance issues.
A smaller backspace will make the tires extend out more and may cause tire rubbing in the wheel wells, mud flaps, etc.

Backspacing is needed for the caliper clearance, smaller backspacing = more clearance.
Wouldn't offset though allow us to know how much more the (Tire) would stick out/in? Since its a measurement from the wheels center line, its independent from wheel width.

Backspace = The distance from back of the wheel to the wheel's mounting face, in inches.
You NEED a certain backspace for our trucks.
OEM wheel is 7-1/2" wide
Aftermarket might be 8", 9", etc.
OFFSET is a result of wheel width & Backspace.
You can't buy aftermarket rims based on Offset alone.

Just got my 35 x 12.5 x 20 Nitto Trail Grapplers mounted on 20 x 9.5 Lexani RBP wheels
The wheels have a 5.5 offset, torsions cranked up to 23.5 inches and alignment done. Tires rub sway bar at full turns right or left, really minor.
