20 inch wheels and the Nitto Terragraplers look really nice and perform well on and off road.

I myself have 20s and mud terrain. They are great for my style of everything. but they do have some hum to them as they age. I have anout 15k on them now.

Handling is noticably better than stock as its a more sport feel with the lower profle tires.

Mileage? lol i have no idea I put them on like 2 days after i bought my h3.

Here is a pic of mine for ref.

BP ... I don't normally like big wheels and lo-profile tires, but you've got a good combo there. looks good
