Being the tires were the factory tires they were starting to dry rot, plenty of tread life in them but getting pretty cracked. I actually sold the wheels to a local fellow H2'er that I met for $400. I had them listed for $500 but he just wanted something cheap until he could afford tires for his 22s.......lol.

I went with Method Standard wheels in black with Kumho Road Venture MT's. The wheels are 17x9 with a 4.25" backspace. I wanted the wheels pushed out to look better with my flares. The stock wheels looked horrible sunken in with the extended flares.

Tires are the same size but the new ones were over 2" taller for some odd reason:

Nice wide stance!

I was incredibly worried about the backspace not working but at 4.25" the tires are perfectly in line with the edge of the flares. The wide stance with the MT's gives the rig a completely different look. The pics don't do the Method wheels justice, they are hands down awesome in person!

Really like the look. I just picked up a set of the E&G offroad flares and want to make sure the wheel / tire combo we get fills out the flared area completely. Not planning on a major lift, just torsion bar keys and new shocks. Did you have rubbing issues or anything? My client wants to go with 20" wheels and that's fine but I think the most important part of this equation is to get the backspacing / offset just right. You appear to have done just that. Any advice would be appreciated.

I did. I'm just trying to get some insights in regard to just the right stance for my client's H2.

Yeah.... that's the problem. We do not dig up OLD AZZED Threads to tack on a question here. READ: Old Threads/'Necro-Bumping'

If you want to ask H2 what size wheels questions, they would go in the H2 section after a search of that beaten topic.
