How do you think these would look in 20" with 305/60 Nitto Terra Grapplers.  Been ponderin the idea.  If you have any ideas or suggestions just let me know.

Pretty Sharp Justin!!!!

Except purchasing the vehicle, Rims are the MOST expensive AND Noticeable change you can do to your Rig.

It took me ALMOST 8 MONTHS of searching before I finally decided on the DUB's I bought. In a perfect world, googleing, you can find a HUMMER with the EXACT SAME SET-UP you want to get, then you can really tell what they'll look like ON your Rig!!!

But I do think they're SWEET!!!

Just one bit of advice.....Make sure you see the rims in person. Do not trust the slicks in
catalogs and/or on the internet. A cast wheel might look good in a pic, but not hold up
to your scrutiny in person. I found that out with some Moto Metal wheels I was lusting for.
In the real world, they simply did not have the DETAIL that was represented in the
sales pics. It may sound stupid, but I've seen a lot of guys trying to save a buck,
mail ordering wheels,  that were ultimately disappointed once the box was opened.

Gunner makes a real good point. I could have saved a good deal of money by ordering off the net but I decided to use a local tire shop for a couple of reasons: 1) in my opinion, the wheel/tire combo I was wanting to go with was a little more radical then most I have seen. Most that have been installing off-road tires on this forum have been sticking with their stock rims. And the few that have gone with wheel/tire combo's, such as Importkiller (who was most helpful to me) and now Wolfgangsta are actually setting the learning curve on what set-ups will fit.  2)  Most tire shops will work with you. By that I mean, that if a set-up doesn't work they will be willing to change to a different tire or get a different offset rim for you. 3) I've also seem rims show up with blemishes and brand new tires with loose belts that can't be balanced and have to be replaced and didn't want the hassle of having to send things back for whatever reason.

Just my two cent$.

BTW, those are good looking rims!

I've been messing around on the website checking out different rims.  They are supposed to give me a quote on a set.  Good site.

Thanks!  With my HUGE tire/rim set up (according to most people's standard) I'm wondering why everyone was so concerned with a 35" tire fitting....and the fact that most people using a 35" tire were having slight rubbing problems.  Where exactly do they rub?  Or, I guess I should say, where are they supposed to rub?  I'm wondering if the offesets used by others are what is actually creating the rubbing.  I could see how someone using an offset of less than +35 would possibly make a tire rub on the inside of the fender well.  (Example: Drivers side front tire, turned all the way to the left....the outer part of the tire could hit the fenderwell if you were using an offest of less than +35, because that would be pushing the tire "outward" away from the vehicle.)  Doesn't importkiller and a few others use offesets around +13 or so?

I'm just trying to figure out why so many people here are afraid of the 35" tires and/or have slight rubbing issues and/or have to use spacers when I've bolted up a set and nothing's touching and it all works/looks great withouot the bow-legged look.  Again, I'm using a +35 offset which is close to the stock +38 and I'm running a 9.5" wide rim with a 325/50-22 tire.  (T-Bars turned 3 turns and then aligned at dealership)

Here's a couple more pics to give those who want to know an idea of what 22" rims look like with 325/50-22 Terra Grapplers on a NON-LIFTED H3 with 3 turns on the T-bars...it's close, but no rubbing.
