I have 18x9 rockstars in my garage with the bolts cut down and the center caps cut down. Don't get rock stars if you plan on lifting the vehicle. They won't fit anymore with the larger steering knuckle.

Just check the backspacing. If they are 18x9 you will want -12 offset or 4.5 backspacing

Gentlemen -
So what size tire and wheel is recommend? And, should I try and keep the forward rake or lean, like stock?

I like the look and modifications of this H3:

Thanks!

I think everyone has given you tons and tons of suggestions over and over on tire size, wheel size, and their opinions about the forward rake in this thread and on several other threads.

Do whatever you want to do. It depends on what you want to do. If you want the rake keep it. Larger wheels are not the greatest for offroading. You can go up to a 35 inch tire without a lift kit. If you crank the torsion bars get an alignment afterwards. I don't mean to be rude but you've asked in several other threads and everyone with experience has replied with good advice.
