I just listed in the #4 post above, the 3 things that MUST match for the wheels to fit on a H3.
I wasn't kidding.

Stock OEM 16" diameter wheel is 7.5" wide, 6x5.5"(6x139.7mm) lug pattern, 101 mm center bore, offset is 30mm, and back spacing is 5.5".
When choosing new wheels you need:
1) 6x5.5" lug pattern
2) 101 mm minimum center bore. (H3's are HUB centric, meaning that the wheels locate on the hub center, which is 100 mm, so you can't go too large on the center bore either)
3) 5.5" MAX backspace, less backspace will make tires stick out more as will wider wheels.
IGNORE offset, as it changes with wheel width. It's not an important number.

You're joking, right? If not, then I swear you guys don't read before you ask questions.
YOU quoted ME above, post #4, point #2 - 101mm MINIMUM diameter center bore to clear hub centers!

You don't have to be a **** about it. Just asking a simple question, that's it.

Good point Taint, but I purposely didn't address that part.
Offset is a bull**** spec. It is confusing when trying to compare different width wheels. Backspace is the spec. needed.
Razorbackfan:
Here's an reference for wheel specs. You can see why 30mm offset on 7-1/2" wide wheels results in a certain backspace. You would not get the same backspace with 30mm offset on 10" wide wheels.
Backspace is an important number in order to clear suspension/steering/braking components no matter how wide the wheel is.

Just so you know, those rims, even if the center bore was right, would have moved your tires out about 1-1/2 to 2". They most likely would rub severely in the wheel wells while turning.
