Default Question

Hey guys! Ok I know you all aren't really fans of 20" rims buts it's for the wife's jeep and she loves a certain wheel, my question to you is because I know you all are super knowledgable about these things is, what the biggest tire I can get on her 2011 unlimited with a 20" rim and no lift? Thank you all so much for any help!

A 33 and the width depends on the backspacing of the wheel.

regardless of rim size... 33's will clear with no mods....

With that said, don't let it happen. 20" rims are reserved for 37" tires or larger IMO.

Oh and be more specific with your title, or no one will view your thread...

And one more thing... DO NOT PUT 20" rims on that Jeep.

I'd almost say 20" rims are for 40's or larger.

Also anything smaller than a 20" Rockstar looks funny. But then again, I am tired of seeing Rockstars.

Yes.

Get the 18" Rockstars. The 20's will just look silly w/ 33's.

Yes, they are decent tires. Didn't try them in mud or sand, but they worked great on the trails around here and on pavement, and were pretty decent on snow and ice.

In general, a 33. But, you need to be aware that there is a fairly good discrepancy in both height and width on a lot of the tires out there. It isn't too unusual to have a full inch of difference between the same sized tire from two different mfg's, or even between the same size tire for two different rim sizes from the same mfg.
Just a heads up that because someone did or did not have clearance issues, doesn't automatically mean that you will or won't.
