XD Rockstars: New Sizes and Offsets

[HUMMERADDICT]

Hey guys, back around after neglecting my fellow Hummer peeps for a bit.:emb: I already have wheels awaiting new tires for my H3, but wish these sizes and offsets would've been released sooner. I'd have bought the 17x8 Rockstars in a +35.:sigh:

Why did you want to go to a 17 inch wheel?

Why did you want to go to a 17 inch wheel?

I've found more preferable tire sizes in a 17. My wife bought me my Ballistics in a 18. The company she ordered them for me for Xmas had very limited stock on this certain wheel. She got me what she could at the best price she could. Also,didn't want the 18" Rockstars in a 0 offset.

What tire size are you looking to use? I just wondered, I have not checked into all those wheels and offsets different from stock.
I wanted to stay with a 75R tire for more sidewall area and got some that have the three ply with one of those laterally. Cooper calls it Armor Tech.
I air down and see how that bulging saves my wheels as well as smoother ride and gripping.
That carcass is used for the MT/MTZ, Cooper STT, and Cooper STMAXX, as well as some Dick Cepek tires made by Cooper.
I would have thought the 17 size tire was more limited in availability but I believe now they are putting those on GMC and Chevy full size trucks but only in a 265 as they come stock.

I've been looking at the new Toyo Open Country A/T II in a 34". Before that I just couldn't make up my mind. More of it has to do with the offsets of the wheels I liked.
