If it is your wife's jeep well then, I was in the same boat until 2 weeks ago.
Now we both have jeeps.
By the way, looks good!

I did not have a jeep myself either, I got hooked while modding my wife's jeep.
At 37 and 11 GM vehicles under my belt, I broke the cherry and got my own jeep 2 weeks ago.
Yes three of the gm's were cadillacs, I have one of those old people commemorative emblems for my grill for owning so many..... But it is in my office...

Wasn't going to do it but I have to. I am a Toyota guy. Love my 07 Tacoma and 84 crawler.
So I don't get in trouble, here are some more pics of the wife's jeep with the 17"x9" XD Cranks with 285/70R17 BFG All Terrain T/A Tires.

Take them off then go off roading and see if you are sold yet.... Nice trucks by the way.

17inch XD cranks with bf goodrich mud terrain tires.
Took them off road for the first time and scratched them all, plus one of the caps broke off.... They look good, dont get me wrong but If i had to buy new rims all over again i would consider purchasing different brand.

Hey Cranks!!!
I decided to switch from buying 20" Rockstars to 20" Cranks!!! Thanks for making me see clearly 
Its true, not everyone has these and they really do look kick ass!!!
I was looking at 295/55/20, and i know this is about just the rims... However, whats the tread life like on these tires? Mine is a daily driver, and in winter i switch back to my factory 18" I was going to look at Toyo and it had the WORST millage!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, i hear adding this wheel as a spare causes 2 much strain on the spare tire mount, thus causing it to break off... Should i be concerned about this, did you add something to the mount to make it stronger? Thanks
Oh and last question....
Im assuming that you got the Flashpaq Superchip, if thats the case did you bother getting your wheel and tire package with the TPMS installed?
Any difference in Flashpaq to Procal?

I do not have additional support and they are nitto trail' 305/55/20, no problem yet.
Flashpaq is only good for 2010 and lower.... It does work great though.
No tmps.

Tread life depends on the tire, most of the mt's do not get great tread life but if you are switching back and forth you should be ok.
