Got my new rims

[sandawgk5]

I got up around 7:30 this morning after getting home from a concert at 2 and drove with Morgen up to Hollywood to get my rims. I made it round trip with a piss break and time to load and pay Justin for the rims in just over 4.5 hours.

Stacked and waiting disassembly. They are in order from worst tread to best. The one on the bottom is almost brand new but the other 3 are pretty bad. I gotta find me a deal on some 42s. Not sure if I want Iroks or TSLs. If they make the LTB in a 16.5 in the 40 or 42 size I would consider them also.



Oh I have 2" spacers coming for all 4 corners and will run them with factory backspacing.

Oh yeah those things are freakin heavy. I barely got the last tire and rim on top of the stack.

Not sure what the rim and runflat weigh but a 42 Irok is 97 so it will probably be right around 140# when I go to 42s

I would think the narrowest tire that you find would be a good idea for those rims.

The general rule of thumb is to stay within 4" of your rim width for your tires. I don't remember the exact width of H1 rims but i want to say 6.5". They already have a 12.50" tire on there. I know wider can be done but I still question the integrity of the setup. Especially if it is driven on the street. IROKs seem to have a narrower offering than TSLs.

H1's = 8.25" wide. I put 42' TSLs on mine and they fit just fine.

Not really worried about that. The rim width is provided by manufacturers to provide even wear and to cover their ass when people try to sue them over stupid stuff.

Like was said alot of guys run 42s on them with no issues. Hell I have seen 47 LTBs and 44 Swampers on stock width H1s.
