22" wheels and tires
I have a 2012 jku sport. I've seen some nice picks of jeepsrunning 22's with bfg a/t and guy running mudd tires. My question is how to they ride at 80mph. I hardly drive my jeep unless its long distance or beginner wheeling. I like the look of big wheels and tires. But am wondering how the ride will be? I have stock suspension. Not gonna change since I head it voids warranty. I'm a newbie to jeeps. I formerly owned a Lifted Fj cruiser

BFG makes only 2 sizes in a 22" A/T. 325/50R22 = 35" tall & 325/60R22 = 37.5" tall. Both are over 13" wide.
You can't run either one of those without some kind of lift. (you can, but there will be some rubbing issues)
There are a lot of threads about running 35's with no lift/minimal lift.
As for how will it ride at 80mph, "like a shoebox with 22's going 80" (my attempt at humor)

I've been looking to do 20" wheels wrapped in either 33" or 34" tires (Nittos) they have odd sizes. I like the look of a 20" wheel with 33"-35" tire. But it sounds like you want more of a "low profile" tire look so I would say 20" on 33". You'll be able to push them with ease and still keep a decent MPG.

He wants to go 80 because he's from Jersey. The speed limit might say 65 but everyone is going 75-85 on any major highway.
