Default Large (not wide?) tire size

I have the stock tires on my H3 '07 lux. I believe that they are 16". I would like to get 20's (possibly 18’s) put on it for aesthetic reasons only. Is that possible? And does anyone recommend any specific tire in that size?

I don't know too much about the differences in tires relative to ride quality or how it would affect the rest of the vehicle (i.e. burning through brake pads, mpg, ect) and I don’t want to jeopardize the rest of the vehicle. I just think that the bigger tires look good.


Any help is appreciated, thanks all.

the 16 number is the size of your rims depending stock or adventure its 265/70/16 or 285/75/16 for the tire size both 18 inch and 20 inch wheels are entirely possible. if you just want bigger tires depending you just need to buy 285's and put them on or you need to level your truck and move up to 315/75/16's(35 inch). for bigger rims no modifying is needed if you stay with the stock 265's(32 inch) or 285's(33 inch). hope this helps.

Thanks much for the help. The tires on mine are the 265/70/16. I am thinking that the 285/75/16's are the size I was thinking about. It must be that I was looking at an Adventure with those size.

Any recommendation on brand of tire?
