Also - bigger tires don't really help that much

I've got it setup where I can change the bumpstop mount height in a matter of minutes.

instead of dismissing it why don't you do a little research

i only spent about 10 minutes searching pirate, and i found a thread that talks about people suing them but no actual proof of any one useing h1's with a 17 inch tire. here is the link, maybe you can find the actual thread that talks about it, if you do post it up.

with a larger tire (40"+), I can see how the double beadlock would grab a pretty good bite on the tire and it shouldn't have a problem w/ the 17"s. This is only from my experience w/ my 16.5 44"s, so take it w/ a grain of salt.

it might be worth it to just try mounting a 17 in tire on a h1 rim, if i had a tire i would try it for you, but the only ones that i have access to are mounted to rims right now.

I'm not dismissing it, but I've been surfing pirate for a long time, and all I've ever heard was speculation that it could be done, but never any proof. So like I said, until I see it I don't know if I would believe it. Sure, it may work in theory, but I don't know if it would be something I would want to do

fawk it, it is just clayton. I have a set of H1's you can borrow and try em out.

**DRAGOONRANCH** · 12-11-2007, 10:47 AM

then post up on pirate about it an you can be king dingaling for a day

**CRaSHnBuRN** · 12-12-2007, 08:51 AM

damn, before I posted this, I put a post on pirate about doing a possible trade. Well I haven't had any offers on the trade part, but I've had alot of people wanting to get in line to buy them outright (for more than I have in the set to begin with). So now I don't know what to do. Does anyone have a set of H1 wheels they might want to sell if I do decided to sell my tires and go bigger?

I have a set at the house w/ various stages of wear stock tires on them that you can have as long as you a. let me have the magnesium runflats, b. replace them when you get a chance, and c. make your own arrangements to pic them up at my place in rosebud.

I saw a set of recentered H1's with 6 lug centers, but you're not running 6 lug, so nevermind.

okay, let me figure out what course I'm going to go, and I'll let you know

**DRAGOONRANCH** · 12-13-2007, 11:06 AM

cool

Hmm, a new 40" LTB? http://www.intercotire.com/site36.php

Maybe I'll stick with the H2s and ditch the IROKs in Febuary.
