I can get you some with my 33 procomp XAT with 5.71 KMC XD HOSS rims. I also have bushwacker pocket flares on the truck. Let me know if you would like to see this.

thanks,

Jay

This describes almost everyone running H2s. They are about5 3/8" backspacing and 8.5" wide. Do a search and you'll be flooded with info and pix.

I will post pics as soon as I can, but when i damaged one of my flares and ran without it for about a week the tire stuck out way to far for my liking. It was a good 1.5 to 2 inches out there from the fender and with 5.21 backspacing it would stick out another quarter inch farther than mine.

Also look up PTGARCIA user as he has the same rims I do and not flares so it should five you an idea of how far the tire will stick out.

Okay, here's 35's on H2's, they do stick out a little. Some people run these without flares but I got crap flying everywhere when off road or even in the rain so I'm putting on some ATS flares with that clear 3M stuff uundrneath to protect the paint. Flares will be 2-toned to match the truck so they don't 'stand out' so much.

My Procomp XAT sit just a little bit farther out probably due to the backspacing difference from the H2's

How do you like you vortracs. I am thinking that is what I will replace these Procomps when they are worn out next year.

thanks,

Jay

The XT AT's were my 2nd choice and I woulda bought them of they were E rated. How're they working out, noisy at all?

Got 5k miles on the Vortracs so far, no complaints so far.
Typical of all Interco tires from what I've read, they take lotsa weight to balance but seem pretty ballsy.

I love my procomps and would get another set if they came in E load in a bigger size. They are wearing very well. Will probably get 50K out of them.

They make a small amout of load noise, but with the radio on you don't hear the noise. Actually for what is really a MT style tire they make very little noise and have great on and offroad traction.

How wide is the rim and tire? I don't think that will work with a 2 inch lift and 35x12.50 tires... but I have heard if you get longer control arms they keep them from hitting the fender with that backspacing.


I understand 5.5 to be rule of thumb as the most you can go and even my 5.7 wheels will rub if I **** the truck enough with the wheels turned.
