Help with wheels
 
What other trucks have the same bolt pattern as the H3? I cant find any 20s or 22s to fit mine. But a buddy has some 20s off a silverado and IDK if they will fit.

The bolt pattern is 6X5.5"

But there is a lot more to be concerned about when deciding on which wheels will fit.

First is that H3 wheels are Hub Centric, meaning that the center bore MUST be 101mm to align the wheel to hub. A lot of wheels are Lug (or Stud) Centric meaning the wheel lugs do the aligning. Most Lug Centric wheels will have a much smaller center bore that won't work on a H3.

You also must have the correct Backspacing, meaning the distance from the Hub to the wheel mounting surface.

And you need to know what Offset you need, to prevent rubbing on the sway bars or fenders. That changes based on the wheel width.

So lots to think about and 20's to 22's ? Rethink that too. 18's or smaller look best on H3s. More rubber, less wheel.
