This is not what you were probably thinking. I was searching through the Military Auction site & found these up for auction.

They are GOODYEAR 395/ 85R20 MV/ T How nice would they look?

I haven't seen a JK yet that could clear 46" tires... Those are some big tires!

wow. you would need an incredible lift and lots of cutting to squeeze those in....not to mention negative backspace and spacers!

I love my 20s...but those are way more than I would want to mess with.

For a JK, big tires are very nice but big rims are not.

I'm fairly sure even diehard Jeepers would give the benefit of the doubt and look the other way for the 20" wheels if you were runnin' 46" tires around them...

... as long as the wheels are chrome.

I beg to differ. Not to take anything away from anyone else, but IMO I think that a jk needs at least 17's and looks even better with 20's. To each his own.

Hmmm.....one against 20s and one against black....and i like my black 20s
so many wanting chrome and smaller wheels.
(not that the popular 17s and 18s are small)
But I guess no one else has to like them, just me.
At least that means few will look like my toy.

Although mine are considerably smaller than the ones shown...almost 10 inches smaller.

the wheels in question would look like 17s with 40 inch tires, I guess.

Come on! A Wrangler is not a Hummer H2 or a Cadillac Escalade!

I know...they are better. Thats why mine deserves nice wheels. In my opinion, why buy something that comes with 18's, then lift it and put 15's on it, unless your an offroader. Since the only offroad mine will ever see is sand, I went 18's and it looks great. Takes all kinds to make the world go around.

I agree 18" is nice:

But 20":
