I'm not stuck on myself but let's be honest... you're going to have to havean "A" level Tech with 20+ years experience to beat me... and those guys are not doing $200 aftermarket part installs...

My dealer only charged me $120 to install the lights. Your price is beer and than they wind up crooked.

thanks for the review....

i'm now trying to get a new set of wheels and tires..... looking at 20" wheels with 305/55/20's

you guys seem to know your stuff, I'm hoping to get the tires to stick out past the wheelwells about an inch... so i figure a 9" wheel and 305's..... Understanding the H3's odd offsets and all....

I was supposed to have a set of KMC wheels arriving last month... no go. they were 18's with 285/65/18's..... backordered forever...

doesa 20x9 wheel witha 305/55 sound right to achieve a one inch +/- protrusion?


also interested in tortion bar adjustment but I'm sure there's a thread here on it.....

A 20x9 wheeland a 305/55 tiredoesn't tell you anything about how far it will stick out.... the offset of the wheel is the biggest factor on how far it sticks out...

understood, which is why at this very min i am searching the forum for pics and or info on the subject....

i'm considering running a neutral offset, i thing the stock wheel is +12... i may be wrong. so in theory, if i run a neutral offset and a 305 i can gain approx 2" of "sticky outtie".... which would net me about an inch outside the fender.....in theory...... after seeing some pics, i'm leaning toward 18's as 20 look too "pimped"

Stock is +38.... which we just had a big debate on...

Since you seem to be in the camp that doesn't mind a slightly wider stance then you will have much more success finding something you like... pay attention to my posts in that thread. I posted a few of our sponsors and other sites that have what you might like.

If you are going for the +/- 1" look... the +25 is mostly what you will search for... of course dpending on the width you choice will give you the + side of the +/-....

It's a give and take system.... all I know about H3's I learned here.... and from friends I met here.... I probably know more about 3's than my Deuce...

Now... if you ever want to wheel it.....

thanks, i cannot make mem day but I'll stay tuned.... i race sailboats most every weekend all year round, but if there's an open day, i may want to put a whoopin on my 3.... i'm still in new owner lovey dovey mode..heh...


custom wheels direct was someone with whom i'd actually spoken to today, they knew exactly whati was afterand so i think i'll order up a set of wheels/tires on mon. Only question is which wheel as such, life is good.
