Should be ok, I have seen 40*15.5 that rub, but not much rubbing. Just have to see what offset the rim has!!!

i personally wouldnt go over 13.5 as width LMAO they would throw a lot of gravel and stonechips on your fenders paint unless you re in for another 1000bucks for a fender flares <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... >/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8)' />

Re: 38x15.5r 18
Offset is relative to the width of the rim. What size/width rim?

Second thing I'm worried about is that they are rated 2200LB max load Not going to use them for offroad

Re: 38x15.5r 18
That's only a 4.5" backspace. Chances are youre gonna be rubbing being that you will be pushing your wheels about 2.5 inches or so further out. Factory wheels are a much higher backspacing and iirc around 7", so you'd wanna be in and around the +35-45ish offset (which you'd be hard pressed to find. Id stay away due to rubbing issues, but even more so on account of the load limit of the rims...

Re: 38x15.5r 18
Just found 18" rims 9" width with 25mm offset which gives me 6" of backspace and if I would go with 38/14.5/18 would that be ok?? but rims are rated 2300LB how big of a deal would that be? I'm more then sure that we have guys here running aftermarket wheels on h1
