Motorsport Tech makes adapters for the Jk's to fit H1 wheels, and run 300 bucks a set. This setup looks really nice, the trick to getting a decent ride on the road with these tires is to run them at lower pressure, just like my brother running semi wheels and tires on his superduty. When my 35's wear out towards the end of the year, I may go this route, i love the look of the setup and price wise falls in line of going 37's with my current 16" wheels. By the time I need to replace tires, I'll be replacing my ball-joints anyways
Here are the adapters on a Jeep JK
You gotta admit that looks sweet, J8 look anyone?

I've been considering going to these tires (grooved) through trail worthy fab. I like the look of the h1 wheels just as they are in this picture. Do you know the thickness of the wheel spacer on these? I don't know what the back spacing is on the h1 wheels, but understand I'll be needing 4 - 4.5" BS on the JK.

Spacers adapters and the whole longer lever argument
I really like the H1 wheel, and the ones in this thread look great, awesome machinist tolerances and quality. I have re-centered some H2 wheels in the past (but dude screwed up the offset I requested anyhow) and avoided adapters, as it seems to be looked as as trouble. Like to hear the arguments.
If you can follow my lever argument / thought process, seems to me that regardless the lever starts at the outside contact patch of the tire, and that is in the same place if you use a 7 backspace (H1 wheel) with a 3 inch spacer/adapter. This would be the same as a 4 inch backspace wheel the contact of the tire is in the same place, correct? Basically the out to out measure of the tires would be in same place, eg 80" out to out, the lever is the same length, the end of lever is in the same place.
