Reason i ask is cause ive just lowered mine 60mm on Jamex springs and shocks and my god its scraping when i go round the roundabout doing 15mph. This is with a few bags in the car and a passenger (front) but my rear is stripped out!

Check the offset.. It will be on the inside of the wheel somewhere starting with the letters 'ET'

6.5J is your wheel thickness, 15 is the rim diameter.

H2 is a newer version of a humvee.
