Even if they fit, will they be as good off road?

Definately not, but I live in a suburb of Chicago and there aren't a lot of good places to go. An off road setup just isn't practical for a daily driver around here. I can always pick up an extra set of tires of the stock wheels if I change my mind.

Regardless, thanks for the comments guys. I was just curious if anyone had and any personal experience . This is my second JK and I've only had it for a week, so it's stock for now (other than a few little things ). I'm kind of on the fence with the SRT wheels but I think I'm going to give them a try. I'll need a taller tire than the ones that come stock on the SRT-8 to keep the same overall diameter as the stock JK wheels. I'll be able to resell them easily for the price I'm paying if they don't work out.

20s might look good w/some 40'' meat wrapped around em and a 8'' long arm kit to hold it up out of the dirt. Hell'' I saw one down in Tampa a few months ago with what appeared to be 32'' or maybe even 36'' bling on band aid tires going down the road . I should of gotten pics. I was in shock I couldn't believe my eyes.
I didn't even know they made rims that big.

Make sure they are the Cherokee SRT8 20's 5x127mm as they have the correct bolt pattern. The SRT8 Charger, Magnum & 300C have 5x115mm bolt pattern which will not fit the JK.

Not bashing you, but if you are looking for practicality wouldn't leaving it stock be the best option? I mean, 20s are going to hurt gas mileage and ride a little rougher Maybe look into spending your money on a K&N and stuff like that for better gas mileage, and maybe some softer shocks for a smoother ride.
