You know- I railed on another thread about 20" but those don't look bad. It's all in what you like. I think it's a great looking rig- maybe not what I'd buy(wheels) but still pretty cool. But I never met a Jeep I didn't like. My $.02

More pics please!

I think black rims natually look smaller...if not smaller then more subtle...they kind of trick your eye.
If those were chrome, I'd vomit. They're not, and I think they look pretty good.

To each his own. Enjoy.

The Superlift kit rides great. I took it for an alignment and the shop didn't charge me because everything was within spec with how we put it together. The caster was at 2.5 degrees with where we put the cams with a guess. Also, there are absolutely no drive line vibes at all with the stock setup.

The wheels are a 4.5x5 and 5x5 dual drilled. No spacers or adapters. I guess they just started making them. I got them from a local shop called Hickman's tires.

The tires are 37x13.50x20 Put Bull Rockers. I think the extra width helps the looks. They don't quite measure 37". The only place they rub is the air dam while turning and hitting a bump.

Also, with the 4.10 gears and an auto the power isn't bad, but I still have some gears on order ;-). The wheel and tire combo weighs about 112 lbs.

Here is why I did 20s: (you don't have to agree).... The larger aluminum wheel is lighter than all of that thick rubber. Also, on that size of a tire with a small wheel your sidewall will deflect a lot when turning causing the steering to be more sloppy than I like. Off-road, when aired down, a smaller wheel would allow more sidewall, which on a steep sidehill would cause you to drive on the sidewall of the tire, giving less traction and more possibility of damage. I can say all of this because I have the exact same tire in a 16.5 on another vehicle and those are the problems I experience with it.







I'll try to get some pictures of it at a static height later today.

You don't have to explain your choices to anyone, that is your rig and its nice to see different set-ups on the JK.

I noticed in one of your images you still have the stock muffler on. With that lift,wheels and tires your rig is screamin' for a Magnaflow or some other after market exhaust. Just my $.02 and meant as a compliment to your rig.

Yep, I agree. It's not what I'd do, but that's okay. It will be a good set-up for a daily driver that occasionaly sees mild trails. If you plan on spending a lot of time in the rocks, I'd get a second set for the harder trails with a smaller rim.
