With only a leveling kit? I want to stay with the stock rim size, but use a 35" tire. Having a hard time deciding. About 80% on the street and the remainder in the mud and dirt (developer/contractor). Any help be be great!

 

You do NOT need any "leveling kit", do not waste your money, the stock keys will lift the front to the max of 23.5" hub center to fender lip. 35s will fit a stock H3 without leveling.

You won't see any rice rubber on any of my stuff, ever!

Sounds like you are looking for an AT with all that street driving? Ever look at the Mickey Thompson MTZ or ATZ, Cooper STT or ST?? I love my second set of MTZs. Made in the USA.

 

Without knowing the back spacing of the rim that question can not be answered.

As far as tires go look at these along with what Doc mentioned. Wife loves her Extreme Country's.
Aggressive for the trail but really nice on the street.

Thanks for the help! My first H2. I've decided to go with Standard's METHOD wheel. 17x8.5.
Question: what would be the largest size tire I could go with? I don't want a lift kit on it. I was planning on a fender kit at some point.
And, what do you thing about staying with 17x8.5 rims with large tires? I like large sidewalls. Hate the giant rims. Just escaped from Scottsdale AZ.
Thanks!!

 

Or, should I move up to a 20" rim with 35" tires?

 

37" tires/correction....

 

Sorry, made the assumption you were talking about an H3, the leveling kits for the H2 are fine. 37s will fit.

 

Thanks!

 

NO, you can get 37's for a 17" rim.
