ATTN: all those with H2 wheels!

[01maroonz71]

can i get some pics of how far they stick out past your fenders(head on shot) possibly. i read that they are 5.5in backspacing, which doesn't work for me(i don't think)

also, can i run a 14.50tire on a 8.5in wheel????

im not totally against wheel spacers to help the backspacing issues, but if the spacers plus h2 wheels add up to the cost of some other 17in wheels than ill just go that route you know....

thanks guys!

Here is my truck when I had h2s. They are on a 37- 12.50

35's with 5" of lift.

 

[cbbr]

37 x 12.50's on 5" -

hmm...looks like i want something with about 3.5in backspacing, if not less....too bad cause i love the look of them, and they're so dang cheap around here. thanks alot guys!!!

I'm putting spacers on the rear when I put in the 14BFF. The H2's are a little too far in for me, but they are cheap and good looking otherwise IMO.

 

[01maroonz71]

do you think i could run a 14.50 tire on them??? a 41x14.50 irok radial to be specific

 

[SCOOBYDANNN]

mine tailed w/ 39.5's

thanks!

I just got some and put them on the CUCV. The 5.5" offset made it easier to clear 39.5" Iroks with a 4" lift. It does looks like they are going to rub the drop pitman arm though at full turn. I know I could go crossover and be OK. Is there another solution to this. Spacers?

yep you can run spacers but they are not very cheap, might as well just do crossover. here is a link for spacers:

[01maroonz71]

i actually already have crossover...so that clearance isn't an issue....i just like the tires to stick out more since my truck has so much lift.

 

[muddybuddy]

im sure someone will have spacers for sale on here soon

 

[01maroonz71]

hmmm...well, as soon as they post them for sale... i'll be sure to call 1st dibs

Crossover is probably the better option. As far as spacers, I was wondering how thick they would need to be to clear.

 

[01maroonz71]

yeah, i agree...but i have crossover already.

There are spacers that are just Billet discs with the matching bolt pattern for narrower reqirements. Like if you just wanted to space it out 0.5" you could get a disc that thick and get some longer wheel studs. ARP has the longer studs. It would be a real PITA to do. Personally, I would rather have the back spacing as is. Being that much narrower on trails can help and as I said before, it is easier to get more tire on with less lift. I guess it all depends on what you are looking for though.

Here's an old pic of mine with H2's and 40" MTRs. Only 3" lift but that way it gives you a good idea of how they sit in relation to the fenders. Just remembered, the rear wheels do have 2" spacers installed.

I've thought it would be cool to paint some H2's black, too.

 

[lak2004]

Whats the most width you can run on a H2? Would 39.5/15 be too big?

 

[twoslo4five0]

also, can i run a 14.50tire on a 8.5in wheel????

~Dave

18.5 inch tire on a 8 inch wheel (i think thats the width)
