I think you can get away with a little bit bigger wheels when they're black. They just seem to just blend in with the tire more...IMO

AND he would be going up 2" in wheels and 3" in tire! NOT 5"

there is more sidewall on a 20 on 35 then there is on a 18 on stock sahara...

and you dont need to air down and climb rocks to go offroad...

mudding wouldnt matter so much and firetrails wouldnt matter all that much either...

beach would depend on tires but even then it wouldnt matter that much...

offroad does not = rock crawling only

stock rubicon wheels are 32'' with 17'' rims... so it would be 3'' rim and 3'' tire if that was the case...

stock sahara is 18'' wheels and def not 32'' tires... more like 30's

You are right...
however....
+2 inches in rim + 3 inches in tire is still +1 inch over-all more tire on the rim to tire scale...

.5'' on either side top and bottom and more room to air down then stock....

So sure, your right its +2 rim +3 tire... but its still less "hummer wana be" then stock....
