Stock should be a 16" rim actually unless they changed that in 2009.
Should look fine as stock H2 are a +38 and I went with +11 on the new rims. I wanted -20 but these were the best I could find... so about 1.25 inch wider and even though looks better - anther inch would have been nice so 1.5 inches should actually be really good.
Don't forget that they really made a narrow stance on GM's as they don't think ahead...
Haven't heard from Gary yet....

Good news is just by fluke I think the tire shop has somebody to buy those rims so I may not have to pony up for shipping back, the bad news of course is I have no awesome rims now for this weekend

whoa whoa whoa..... As long as the bolt pattern is right - go with the 17" as they will look much better than 16's with the 35's!!! I kept the stock 17's on the deuce and I egret it - should have gone with 18 or even 20.....
ooops... but of course I forgot you already have the rubber.... poopy!
Maybe try and sell as a set with the rims and rubber.... Keep your options open as the bit bigger rim will look better... I will probably switch mine once the rubber runs out so I don;t loose too much...

^^ Yeah while that sounds great I don't have an extra $1400 for new tires (and 300$ for new TPMS) at the moment, lol. They are going to bring in some 16's of the same rim for me, it also sounds like he has somebody who will buy those 17's so I won't have to pay for shipping on them.
The rims I am getting will run me about 700$, plus probably 100$ or so for the installation and balancing.
I am still down for going on Saturday, but if it is just us we will have to be careful about where we get stuck. I've come to accept that my little truck has a tough time pulling out H2's because of the weight difference. I do have the 12.5K winch, so if worse comes to worse I can always anchor myself to a tree.
Any word on if B-Man is going to come along?

Haven't heard so I'll email him again later . . . hopefully get a few more out!
All the little things eh!! I never bothered with new TPM's as they are more of a pain than of any use...
I'm hoping to have a large deal close soon so I may look at the bumper upgrade next...

Yeah, but I've learned to never count on it until it's in the bank..... I'll be able to sit back for a few months if this one closes...

Must make the most of it... that is why I am springing for new wheels. (That are comparable with the Rancho 4" lift... but that is phase 2 of this plan)

ok Im pretty much in ...got a guy to cover my weekend shift , just gotta change one of my pulleys (hopefully) at my buddies shop friday night. So as long as its just a pulley Im good to go ...also bringing my buddy jessie again (jeep) and maybe a mechanic's kid that has a jeep might tag along , he was a passenger on our last trip with jessie and he loved it so wants to bring his rig he's been building out. Scotts gotta work still and he's bummed. Be a small little group but we can explore alot of area .
phase 2 nick? ..I like what im reading lol ..cause buddy theres a guy in Edmonton with a black H3T with a nice lift and his rig looks sick and he doesnt have near the mods you do , so can only imagine how good your rig will look after phase 2 ..awesome.
