Don't do it, don't do it!!

20's on a JK will look absolutely horrible unless you have a tires size of 40s or larger. Anything else, stick with 16-18's on 35's.

IMO, trade your JK in for a Hummer if you want 20s. They are meant to have those wheels, but not in a Jeep.

I like the rockstars, minus the chrome(stainless, whatever) star, but I would not suggest the mud grapplers. It's kind of hard to justify rockin the nittos if you never hit the trails, but if you're willing to put up with the loud ride and sub-par street handling for the look of them, go for it!!! Best looking tire IMO!!

I think the tires are more like 36's, but you get the idea at least:


not much of a difference with 36's and 35's... especially considering the variation of styles of tread...

that being said (and this is not directed to anyone really but more of everyone...

20's on 35's is not the end of the world... I am not sure why people get sooooo "OMG WTF BBQ my jeep cries for your jeep wah wah wahhhh" Its pretty fucking lame to make that big of a deal about someone elses jeep and their choices of wheel and tire combos... or anything else for that matter...

Its not like he is throwing 24 inch rims with low profile tires... and then telling you he can out wheel you...

its just like all the people who tell you that the 80's called and they want their 15 inch rims back...

The stock sahara comes with 18's and tires that look like they belong on a mini van... if you drive a stock sahara are you a want to be hummer driver ?? nope... so by going up 2 inches in rim and 5 inches in tire how does that make you any less lame then stock ??

The bottom line is the dude asked for pictures and not to be bitched out because your idea of what a jeep should be is the end all be all of what a Jeep should be...

Crash's jeep and pictures of him kicking the crap out of it in the mudd should more then prove that 20's on 35's or 36's is pretty freaking off-roadable...


Now for the OP... I am going to go 18's on 35's likely by next week sometime... I have a 4 door and the only ting that stopped me from going 20's on 35's 36's or 37's was $$$ factor...

on a two door it might look a little more tonka, like crash's but dude thats pretty damn sweet looking... good luck on your decision and def post the pics when you get her done!!! also... where are you getting the rims/tires from and what tires are you going for ??
