i dont really see why nittos belong on ricers

cant see a honda accord with 35" grapplers on it, but hey, if the have 20" rims does it really matter,

do what you want with your jeep, its yours and your money pays for it,

Hey man,

Can't give ya much info on your two tire choices but you should re-consider your wheel size. 20's are cool if you are running 37 + tires but anything smaller than that off-road will leave you disappointed. 20" wheels just don't leave enough tire to perform well off-road and you will just be scuffin' up those 20" wheels. As it is said, it's your Jeep so do what ya want. Just thought ya should be aware.

well if i do 20" rims with 35" tires i will have 7" of rubber which is what comes stock from the factory. And Im not going to be doing any hardcore trails or anything like that. All I will be doing is some light mudding when ever it rains. Why wont 20" rims on 35" wheels be good in the mud?

Thanks leski

Im running 35x17 pitbulls rockers on a 2 door rubicon and the road manners are great so far. I have 30psi in them and they ride great, much better than the 33'' Iroks I had.

20s... on a jeep.... that is not a commander... gah.

I suggest 17 inch rims. finding tires for a 20 inch rim SUCKS and its expensive. My buddy has 37x12.50R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers on his Dodge and they were like 3 hundred something each. It looks nice, ONLY because his rims are black like his truck.

wow thats cheap up here in canuckville I paid over 300 a tire for 37" pitbulls on a 15" rim.... 20's would be closer to 500-600 for a 37" nitto
