I'm not going to debate large rim vs small rim vs looks vs functionality since #1 - that's not what the OP meant here with his post and #2 - Regardless of what my opinion is.....there will always be someone with a different one.

But to clarify....my original comment was, "Maybe needs an 18" wheel though to really set it off in that size tire" where, "...to really set it off..." was a comment about looks and not functionality. I've taken my 20" wheels and 40" tires down to 14psi and crawled all over the rocks and dirt for 7hrs straight and not once had an issues with not having enough side wall. So again, just my opinion here and definitely not stupid.

You're right, that is an opinion.

Back on topic - those rear fender wells look pretty stuffed - you have any problems with rubbing and the frankenlift Adam?

I'm really looking forward to seeing yours and Ross' rigs in action!

Edit: What rear bumper are you going with?

Hey no fair, your Rubi is bigger than mine now


Looks good, next time we are riding down the road people won't be able to tell which one of us is making all the noise

Maybe those tires know how to stay on the trail.

If you like it now, just wait until you have gears! (Always willing to help you spend more money, buddy!)

What are you doing for a rear bumper? I know you were wanting something different with a tire carrier.
