There is an 02-05 Ram in CT I saw with H2 or H3 rims mounted on it. Looked a little weird to me.

Every H2 I have seen run 315/70/17's they are 8x6.5 and fit a dodge 8 lug as well.

For $500 it is a very good deal, the tires alone new would cost $225-$250 per tire then the cost of the rims.

those are technically 12x34" tires I think. Should be a good fit.

Well, I had bought a set of Hummer wheels/tires, and ended up selling the wheels on Craigslist for what I paid for the whole package. I then went out and bought a set of 17x9 wheels for the BFG tires, and could not be happier. Good luck.

I am running this tire size on mine with stock factory rims, and they look great, don't look weird at all.

They are just shy of 12.5" wide and just shy of 35"
Technically, they are 12.4" wide and 34.4" tall.....lmao
Every manufacturer specs are diff. though, as some measure center height and some measure outer edge height. Same as width. Some measure outer most edge and some measure to the sidewall outer most part when mounted which is a cheezmo measurement IMO. BFG prob measures center to center and side of tread to side of tread as should be.
If those tires are half worn they may only measure 33.5-34" tall which is enough to not rub, but the side still will, so spacers are needed.

Close enough to rub though. Spacers are needed on stock wheels. Great buy regardless as long as there is plenty of trad life left. There was no mention of tread depth...etc...
