Default Biggest Rims without Highering

Hey everyone,

I am wanting to put bigger rims and tires on my H3 and I am wanting 20s. I was wondering if I had to raise my front end in order for any set of 20s with tires on them to fit and not rub. I DO NOT want to raise my front end and am looking for every possible thing in order to not have to do it...

Let me know what yall know... I appriciate it

20" are fine it just depends on the tires your going to run. I have 33x12.50x20 on mine and it works fine other than being a heavy wheel tire combo..

Just make sure the diameter of the tire is the same as the orginal. This will also keep your spedo/odo accurate. Low profile tires typically have a rougher ride.

If you have a 20" rim in a 33" tire you have the same size outer diameter as a 16" rim in a 33" tire. Rims do not make your tire bigger.

Pay attention to the overall outer diameter of your rim and tire combo.

So if I buy 33's they will not rub or catch on anything if I do not raise my front end at all?

Hey, brother. Just wanted to inquire about the quality of ride you've experienced since adding the 22's and lowering? How's the ride? More stiff/rough? Feel every bump, etc...

Thanks much for any info.
