Default New Rims and Rubber - Thinking Rockstars??

Hi all, I just bought a Hummer H2 SUT and need tires. So I figured I would buy new rims and rubber. Any idea how big of rims I can get away with without having to modify the truck at all. I was hoping rockstars in 20 to 24 inch but I have no clue about offset etc! Help me out.

Thanks, But will 24's (24 x 12) fit without rubbing at all with a Pirelli Scorpion ATR 325 / 45/ 24 tire?
I think the rim has an
offset of -44
backspacing of 4.77"

And will 5th one fit the tire carrier on the back ok??

Thanks again

Although I've got bling rims, I'm runnin' Pirelli tires that are 325/45/24. I wanted more rubber for a smoother ride while I was Pippin' [sm=pimp.gif]
Never a problem with rubbing, or brakes.

That looks awesome. Does the ride seem stiffer than it would with a smaller rim and a bigger profile tire??

Thanks. I put them on pretty early on my purchase of my H2, so I did not noticed much if any difference in the ride....But I pound the pavement only, also evenpotholes are nota problem with this tire size.

Back spacing 10 / offset 15
