I've had no issues with mine rubbing or struggling with the 5 cylinders. How ever in deep 1 & half feet of snow uphill it did have some struggle but no worries if you put the transmission into 3rd. I'm surprised you use cruise control on a hummer.
@@GoodsDell7 I got stuck one time on my property by the pond. The ground was really wet and soggy and I kept sinking in closer to the pond. But that time I had Goodyear wrangler tires on and I will never go back to those tires. I had to end up calling a heavy duty tow truck to winch me out from 200feet away on solid ground. It was definitely not a good time.
If you ever did want to lift the body 1 or 1.25 inches it’s INSANELY easy and only $220, you can do it by yourself in your driveway in 2 hours, you’ll be able to off-road anywhere with no wheel scrub 👌
I just bought a 2008 hummer and it already had that size wheels on it. It's an H3X if that makes a difference. I thought they came from the factory with the bigger wheels on them, I didnt know they came with the smaller wheels. But whoever had the hummer before me took good care of it, doesnt really look like it was used off road alot. I've only had to replace the thermostat which I've heard is very common for the hummer. Nice rides, mine has the inline 5 3.7 and its pretty powerful, I dont see why anyone would want the alpha unless they were doing alot of crazy off roading or pulling very heavy loads because to me the 3.7 is plenty powerful.

Thanks, I don't really like using spacers I don't feel comfortable off roading with them and so far in regular driving I've had no incidents with rubbing.
Hi boys .. i want buy this tires for my H3 .. but i want put there also 30mm spacers .. because i like this wide looking .. what do you think ? Will it be okay with scrubbing ? Thanks for answer 👍🏻💪🏻
That looks way more beefed up! NICE! Watch your speed! Your speedometer is going to be off, you will actually be going faster then it will read. Marry Christmas to you and the family Jassal!

The 35 inch tires make a huge difference in how the Hummer Looks & feels. I say if you drive more city go with a 285/75R1616 because it will put less wear & tear on the suspension and transmission. Plus you will get better mileage driving to work as well as less road noise coming from the tires. But every tire brand is different when it comes to road noise & fuel economy. When I put my 315/75R16 on my hummer the front Hub bolts broke while driving & my mechanic recommended putting smaller tires on because the GM Hubs are not the best quality. If you do plan on putting big tires on make sure your front end is well taken care of.

you're gonna strip your lugs the way you put them on. also, to make sure they're gonna fit, you're supposed to turn the wheels both ways, a measuring tape isnt an accurate reading. yea ive worked in a tire shop most of my life.
I've had different tire shops tell me different things. M+S could be Mud + Snow Mud + Sand Mountain + Snow I Believe they are Mud + Snow Hercules Trail Diggers

@@vtecbanger3180 Yea it looks really nice on 35's and drives decent as well. Only thing is I would add stronger components to the front suspension and the v8 model would be much better with more power to turn the wheels. I dont drive it much anymore. If I was driving it more often I would also get the transmission gears set differently so the speed is on point and it's not putting too much load /wear on the transmission.
A little Snow or mud build-up and you get thousands of dollars damage. ALSO Insurance won’t pay for any accidents. Take them off, correct the post or you may responsible for a lot of damage and possibly accidents.

How did that affect your fuel economy?
It effected the fuel economy by a bit more gas gets used also effected the speed gauge as well. It shows slower than your actually going.
Yes! :-)
2-3 inch lift would be great.
It would look more aggressive for sure but I don't want it too high off the ground the center of gravity gets affected.

On road uesd can fit bigger tire
Just measure your fender naxt - how much flax " your vehicle has - 2" from that
