Question A quick "will these tires and wheels fit with my lift" question...help please!

I know there are tons pictures and threads about lifts, tires, etc, but I am scrambling to pull the plug on new ones for my 90 Suburban and don't want to miss out on the deal (private seller, used wheels/tires). I am looking at Hummer wheels with 315/70/17 BFG ATs on them. That calculates out to a 34" tire, but I think that's actual size, so it's probably the equivalent of a 35". I just put a 4" Superlift on a couple days ago and don't want to run around too long with the stock wheels and tires. Does anyone have any experience with running the Hummer (H2) wheels and this size of tires with a lift such as mine? If I needed to throw in a 1" body lift I may be ok with that, but no more than 1".

Here is how I am sitting now...





And these are the tires and wheels I am looking at...



Thanks in advance, guys!!

Thanks man. I've found a few pictures of others with the same setup, mostly on K5's. Looks like they will work well. I hope the offset is good to go. I really want a wider stance than what I have now.

They will look just right on the suburban, if you ask me. Post pics if you get them!

I have a 4" lift and BFG 33s on my shortbed and theres easily room for 35s. Do you plan to wheel it ? then you might want some more lift.

This will be almost 100% street, so I'm not too worried about getting up into the sheet metal on full tuck or anything. I'm pretty confident these tires will work great!
