I noted a signature from a member in Kent WA. indicating he is using H2 wheels on his 2500. Also saw other posts about folks who have done the same. Looking for up to date feedback on the pros and cons. I'm about ready for new tires and hate the undersized look of the 245's on it now. I'm particularly interestd in handling since it sounds like the wheel offset is not as great as the stock wheels and any perfomance issues related to gearing/transmission. I plan on using 265's on the wheels if I go that way.

Thanks

All I can offer is to be really careful about the load rating for those wheels. My reading is lots of bling and no substance. But I could be wrong.

Save your $, keep the wheels you have and up the size of the tires. Be sure to stay in load range E. Then have your computer adjusted to the new tire size.

If you get bigger tires, put some money away for fuel. Going to a 285 will cost you about 2-3 mpg.
