Here are some pictures of my new wheels and tires I mounted today. The tires are Atturo Trail Blade 35x12.5x20 and the wheels are Hostile 20x10 Moab Black Blade Cut 6; they have a 4.75" backspace; -19mm offset. I have "0" full turn rubbing issues.

Seriously, Taiwan tires on a HUMMER?
I've had problems with many things that I have purchased in the past that were made in taiwan. With that in mind, I would never buy a tire made in taiwan! My appliance, phone, or flashlight can fail, and I will be alright, however if my tire fails, I risk my family's lives, and other lives around me..... nuff said...
Buy cheap anywhere you can, however NEVER be cheap on SAFETY.

I didn't buy these without researching the reviews from off-road articles. I do care about safety. I have purchased tires from other countries even though my father retired from Goodyear. I was going to purchase a set of Nitto (Japan) but the tire shop recommended Atturo over the Nitto. Btw... Atturo tires are made in Thailand not Taiwan; that's another Asian country.

Wow, you could have received a great deal on GY tires through an associate discount.

The guy that recommended/sold you the tires, did so to get a larger commission $$$.. He don't care about your safety, just making more money.

The Atturo is produced by Federal in Taiwan.

If you really read into those offroad articles you would have seen that 20's are way to big for serious off roading.
Anything bigger than 17's are for mall crawling.

That's true. I'm sure the tire shop salesman wanted to my some money; that's just business.

My real intent for posting pictures of my H3 was to help others that have white Hummers see what these wheels looked like. I looked over a year, trying to decide what wheels I could live with.

Yes, I do know that 20" are too big for off roading. I don't take my 3 off the road; mainly just back and forth to work. I guess the only off road it gets is the dirt road leading to the MX track.
