Expertise Needed....
Hey y'all,
Can anyone tell me if a 20x10 inch, Offset -12, Backspacing 5 inch wheel with a Nitto Terra Grappler 355/60R20 will fit on a stock suspension 2008 H2?
If it will rub, are there any adjustments that can be made to the to torsion bars, etc.?
Thanks a ton!

It sucks that no body responded to this forum, and I'm surprised that no one has a solution to adding a 355/60R20 to a stock suspension H2....realizing that every vehicle is different.
So, it turns out that a 355/60R20 will fit with the above mentioned wheel specifications. It does rub, but only a little on the rear part of the front fenders (inside plastic protecting the frame) and only while in a tight turn. If there was a half-an-inch or an inch more clearance, there would be no problem.
I did try to adjust/tighten the torsion bars all the way (still keeping the vehicle level). This only provided about 1 more inch in height, but not the distance I'm looking for. I can tell that my ride is more stiff, so adding torsion keys will not be the answer I'm looking for. Adding more torsion could possibly add future problems to the steering and suspension. Nor do I want to spend thousands on a lift. Spacers may work, but then you're only causing more accessories to add like larger fenders.
Maybe a 37 inch tire with 12.5 width would have been perfect. Maybe the difference is in the standard to metric tires. Well, I tried this for all H2 enthusiasts out there. I will continue researching methods for possible clearance so a 355/60R20 will be the perfect tire and post to my own thread!
