I have an '06 H3 Base. It is not (yet) leveled. This weekend some poor 80 year old man sideswiped me at ~ 10-15 mph coming off a fwy offramp.
Anyways, I have 265/75/16s on stock chrome wheels and I'm working to make the most of an unfortunate situation and ordered 20x9 KMC XD Monsters in flat black (XD77829067718). I was recommended 285/50-20 or 275/55-20 and wanted to see if anyone had any recommended tires or their 2cents to add. I guess the 50 series would affect any spedometer variance less. But any recommended brands, etc? Thanks! Eric |
35/12.5/20s are the only ones that are not gonna ride rough. I ran 18s with 35s and it rode worse than stock

Eric The 275/55/20 tires would be about 31.90" diameter (slightly larger than your OEM tires) My 2 cents is that either choice would look ridiculously small on an H3. You want to have at least a 33" diameter tire or even better a 35" diameter. |

What would bring it closer to the orig overall diameter? 285/65/20? I don't even know if they make those. |
You need a WIDER tire as you go up in diameter. Look under 305, 315 or 325 sizes.

Really, 2 pages of discussion for some rubber band tires on RIMZ!
Im sure you are a smart kid and can find a tire size converter online and type in 285/75R16. Tons of converters out there... https://tiresize.com/ |
I have 18" wheels and heavy tires and it's Killing my horsepower, not to mention its and 3.5, Does anyone have any suggestions?? I'd be tempted to put stock wheels and tires back on, but i don't have them.
