need wheels/tires - what works, what doesn't?

Post by izey91 »

I'm looking to put on a set of 20's or maybe even 22's on my H3.  I have heard that not all type of wheels will work.  I know that I need 6 bolt, but what about the offset?  If anybody can shed some light as to what I should be looking for it would be a great help.  There are lots of set of wheels available used for escalades, other chevy trucks and what not but i'm not positive and have heard that they will probably not work on the H3.  Thanks for the help.

yes those are nice...but that did not really answer my questions.  If I am shopping wheels, how can I be sure they will work besides just knowing the bolt patter?  Whats the deal with the offset?

I was thinking that maybe you could message the guy that listed them and ask him what the offset is, etc.. it is a good way to get the details..



just a thought
