Default Tires Sticking Out

Im putting on 315/75/16s this week.. I have seen a number of pics where it appears when looking at the H3 from the font angle, that the tires stick out the sides a few inches, and I like the way this looks. Is this just from the tire being larger or is this something you can have done? Thank You!

35's are gonna stick out about an inch due to being so wide.

The tires are wider. Also depends on the offset of the wheels you put on. The stock wheels are +38mm. If you get anything with a lower offset they will stick out further. I'm in the process of customizing some wheels with a 0mm offset to fit my H#. Had them mounted the other day and they looked sweet. I'm having the inside of the wheels drilled out to mount flush on the hub so the lug nuts will tighten safely. I'll post pics when I finally get them on. I'm getting 33's or 35's in the near future also.

I learned over a ear ago to roll my windows up in the mud after I got my 315 cooper sst's. I even had tennis ball sized chunks all over the top and sunroof. It will fo sho sling some stuff now. I also had to put 3/8's spacer plates between the wheels and the hub to stop stabilizer bar rubbing at full turn lock. You don't have to do anything. They gonna stick out cause they wider. 12 or 12.5 on most 35's...

I agree. I personally didn't want anything bigger than an 18 and just ended up getting aftermarket 16's with a lower offset. I love the stance it gives my Hummer. Looks tough!
