I'm gonna pick up some H1 beadlocks for the burb and want to run a 39-44" tire but I've gotta nail something down that'll work on the 16.5 x 8.25" H1 wheels. How wide of a tire are you guys running? I'd think 13" or so would be the limit.

I've seen somebody with 44's on h1's on ck5, but I'm willing to bet if it saw much street time it might get some funny wear in the center.

I have 42" TSLs on mine, on my buggy. They mounted up fine, and do not have any excesive tread rounding, but I am not going to run them on the street either...

BigToyFreak was running 46" claws --so consider that the "way too big and wide for the H1 wheel" upper limit. If I remember correctly he settled on 42"X14" Iroks. I think that is a good combination and he has been running it for a couple of seasons after trying 4 different sets of tires--
Boggers (39.5s), then claws (46's), then swampers (44's) then settled on the Iroks.

I have been running 44" Swampers on my H1 rims without any issues BUT
I have had my rims widenend. to 11" (used two sets to make up the width difference) Cory AKA bigtoyfreak used them at TTC to run his 44" Boggers

oh and my truck see's zero street time (trailer queen)

I was thinking about the 42x14 IROKS or TSL's too. I've been running boggers forever and love em but the 44's would be too wide for any street use on those. Ryanstrucking - who'd you have widen your wheels?

A local machine shop did it. aprox. $40 a corner plus the rims.

Fawk, that sounds cheap. Is that just labor?

The rims where supplied, all the machinist did was cut out 5" out of a back half and weld it back together.
Guess I should explain my rims a little better.
They are made up of 2 back halves and a front that had the lip machined off.
The front half with no lip is then sandwiched between the 2 inner halves.
