I have searched and searched so I apologize for beating a dead horse. I want to put 07 H2's on my 07.5 LMM. Has anyone wrote step by step what I need to do to mount my stock POY centers on these wheels and transfer the TPS sensors from the POY wheels to the H2's? Thx.

Stock PY0 center caps off the 07+ should fit without modification. It's the 99-07 classic center caps that need the tabs trimmed a little, but the newer ones do not. TPS sensors have to be removed and installed when the tire is off the rim.
hope that helps

Thanks for the info I'm just picking up a set this weekend. I'm hoping if I stay with 285's I won't have to lift my truck
Thanks, thats what i was needing to know. Do the sensors screw on the back of the valve stems?

with a 285/70 you will have to crank up the t-bars and trim the front plastic a little. I also had to use a ziptie to pull back the inner fender a little bit. With those mods, I can now turn lock to lock without any rubbing.

He should be fine in the front on the NBS truck, the rear of the fender might need a little work though.
Ok, so I picked up the 4 chrome H2 wheels, then I went to the local stealer, gave them my VIN#, they handed me 4 new valve stems. Then I went to the tire store where my 4 new Goodyear Duratracs 265/70/17 were waiting. First we swapped the TPS onto the new wheels. We tried a 285/70/17 first on the H2 wheel. There was no way it was going on with out a lot of work (I have the factory GM splash gaurds and stock ride height). The 265's went on no trouble (got about 1/2" between the tire and splash gaurd at full turn).
Then we put the factory POY centers on with no modification and it looks great. The tires rode excellent on the way home. They are the 10 ply E rates with 60 psi in the front and 70 psi in the rear. The only noticeable noise is at about 30 - 35 mph. What a difference in appearance! I hope the tires work as good as they look. It's dark and raining so I will post pics tomorrow hopefully. Thanks for the feedback above guys.
Here is a pic, the weather has been bad so it took a couple of days to get a pic. I did get to drive in the ice and snow yesterday and cant say enough about how good these tires didhttp://mail.flyab.com/src/download.php?passed_id=140&mailbox=INBOX&ent_id=2&absolute_dl=true

I have a tire shop that will try the 305's....Hopefully they will fit with just minor adjustments....
Just to follow up.....after getting the 265/70/17's on they do rub on the GM splash gaurds at full left lock and in reverse. I did trim off the inboard corner and it seems to have fixed it for the most part (on level ground).

Just give your t-bars a couple of turns. That should cure everything..
