Default wheel/tire question

A friend of mine has a set of 18" Ballistic Bullet 044 wheels off a FJ Cruiser. My first question is will these fit my H3. I currently have on stock 16"s with 315/75/16 Mastercraft Courser MTs. My next question is what size can I go with on 18" wheels.

The FJ uses the same bolt pattern and I 'think' the same offset but the center hole is too small. I might be tempted to machine out the center but don't have any sitting around to try it on.

Nor can I find the motivation for it anymore, but they would look good on the H3. Give it a try and see what you can do. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

just did some Google research and the hub center bore is different. the FJ Cruiser has a 108 where the Hummer H3 has a 100. so while the bolt pattern is the same the wheel wont fit due to the center bore being different. 400 bucks for the set was tempting but no reason to waste the money if they wont fit. thanks

a different buddy of mine told me that wont make a difference that the lugs are what holds the wheel in place not the hub center bore. so according to him these will be fine. thoughts?

with the information you have given they should fit. in all actuality the H3 is a hub centric set up, but you can run a bigger diameter hub opening and be alright. I run XD SPYs with 106mm hub bore. I have those wrapped in 295/70/18s or you can go with a 35/12.5/18
