I dont know for certain but im gonna say yeah. If i remember correctly, the H2 wheel is an 8.5" wide wheel with 5.5" of backspacing so they should sit about the same.

Where are you having this installed and where are you purchasing them?

Take a look at the MB Motoring wheels - they have the correct offset for our trucks.

I've got 325/65R18's and a leveling kit with about 1" clearance at the closest point.

I'm running MB Motoring Gunner 8's 18x8.5, but they have 10"

My buddy has 35" mud grapplers on his stock 03 3500 srw. They are on the factory rims, they come very close to rubbing a couple of spots but as many times as i've ridden in it we've never heard them rubbing. Rim width and backspacing/offset can make or break em...

I have a set of 35x12.5x20 Toyo's with a leveling kit and it rubs a little on the fender flare when I go hard to the left.

I am thinking of going to 20's on my truck, but I dont want to do any additional lift to my truck, I have a 2" lift right now.
Also I dont want to get any taller of a tire than what I have right now with my 285 70 17 toyo at's. Any ideas?

Thanks

Kevin

Kevin,

Go with a 305/55R20.

It's about .5" taller than your current tire.

Here's a few pics of a truck with 305/55R20's and MB Motoring Gunner 8 wheels, 20"x8.5" with a +25mm Offset. (got the pics from Firecop on Dodgetalk . com )





MB Motoring has several wheels available with the +25mm offset, which is important on our trucks (similar to stock offset).
They are available at discount tire

Hope this helps.
Shawn

No problem. I looked at a TON of wheel/tire combos on my truck before I went with mine.

In hindsight, I wish I would've gone with the 20" wheels with the 325/60R20's...but I got them as a Birthday gift from my wife, so I'm not complaining either way.



I'll upgrade to 20" at some point.

Hey Kevin check out my photo gallery on here. I have the same tire size 305/55/20 on 20x9's with a -15 offset. You should be able to see a difference with my -15 offset verus his +25 offset, as his are tucked more under the fenders whereas mine stick out a little bit.

I have 325/65R18's with just a leveling kit...no rubbing....even when cruising down the beach hitting washboards, ruts, etc.

It's all in the backspacing/offset.
