H3 Wheeling with 18's

[Michro]

Alright so for now I won't be able to do any upgrades on my wheels/tires due to funds being tied up. My current setup is 285/65r18s on the stock H3x wheels and Falken Rocky Mountains (discount tire's variation of the wildpeak). I've had this truck for quite awhile and am ashamed to say it's been primarily mall crawling. I'm just now wanting to wheel more often. I feel kind of concerned that wheeling in the H3x wheels is not a good idea. Not sure exactly why I feel this way, maybe bc I see everyone else's rigs in this community have the 16's with 35's. How well do y'all think 18's with 33's can manage? Stock shocks, only some engine upgrades. Eventually I've decided on buying the 16s with general grabbers. Just don't wanna drop 2k yet. Here's a pic.

Just be careful around rocks with the smaller sidewalls

I don't think there will be much change in the performance from other 33's. The only thing, there will be less chrome on it from wheeling. Some of the chrome will be left on the rocks.

Haha, well I actually will be buying a plasti dip kit soon to do all chrome on my h3. Soo I can just reapply if that chrome chips off.

I had the same concerns. I bought 5 16" wheels off ebay and mounted 305/70/16 Duratracs on them haven't seen them in person yet. Been working out of state, but pics look great. I asked around here and did research and made my decision. The taller sidewall should air down nicely, and i hear the ride has improved. (Wife) input. Seems to be a lot more tire sizes and makes available also. I am planning on selling the chrome 18s and pay for the 16" wheels. Good luck
