Wheels Question?

[Fantome]

When shopping for wheels how to know the right size for my tires. If I have 285/75-16, what would be the Rim size, the bolt patern on the H3 and the offset.



Rim Size Range: 15x7 to 17x9

Bolt Pattern Range: 5x4.5 to 8x170

Offset Range: -88 to 13



Thanks!

It all depends on the look you want to achieve. if you want a bigger rim size the tire size is upto you. if you want to stuff the biggest tire possible then it comes down to how much clearance you have on the truck also you could go with a low profile tire again depends on the look. if you want to stay along the overall same diameter check this website. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

this site will allow to punch in your original tire size and then pick your new tire size. Also the tire size will need to be changed on your computer if you want your speedo to be accurate. i would be happy to help you with rims and tires as well as the programming needed. we offer aftermarket rims and tires. i know its a punch of information but if you have more questions give me a call. thanks

Well if I give you a call, I would ask the same question I am asking here. How do I calculate which wheel I need for my H3 with 285/75-16?

[MasterMechanic]

well it looks like your rim size is 16inch just like you posted.

Yeah that's ok!!! Maybe I wasn't clear with my question, so let's try this one! lol

16 x ?

How to find out The pattern range?

How to find out The Offset range?





Like posted in the first place as an example,

Rim Size Range: 15x7 to 17x9

Bolt Pattern Range: 5x4.5 to 8x170

Offset Range: -88 to 13



Let's say I would like to buy some Cragar Wheels glossy black. On the web site, these are the dimensions they give us. How do you choose the right size wheel with the tire size I have. 285/75-16

There's different size range, and patern range and width.

well when you order rims the company should provide that info. when we order custom rims our distributer gives us the different demensions that will fit our application. As mentioned before it depends on the look you are after and what is allowed on the truck. if you like i can make that phone call for you and find out the info. this is why i suggested a call to me because there is alot of info but i am happy to help either way thanks

Thanks very much, I will take a look at it.



I am looking for a set of wheels for winter in black, do you think there would be something better than the Cragar's Soft 8 397 Series?



They don't have the Hummers in the fitment guide on your link...
