Default Question For The Guys With 20s

I know a lot of people are going 20s. For those of you with them do you have them for looks or for tire selection?

Looks if you don't wheel and tire selection is not that great in that size

I think a few folks are going 20s, they just defend that decision vociferously. That makes it seem like there are more than there really are. I'd bet not 0.1% of JKs are on 20s.

I have 20's and I like them for the looks, but they came on the jeep when I bought it. If I had some extra cash and could find some wheels I really liked I would go with 17's, but then again I have other mods on my radar.

I had 20's on my jeep when I first got it, wheeled it and then when the time was right I went to 17 inch bead locks on 35's for now with the goal to get on 37's. The 20's weren't all that bad I just didn't wheel freely when I had them and was always worried about thrashing them really bad so I sold them while I still could. I do like the look of the Fuel deep lip wheels and if I didn't wheel at all, which would be impossible, I might consider a set solely for looks. Tires are expensive but big tires in 17's are that much cheaper either but hey it all for the fun of having a modded rig, right

But why go 38 on 20s when 37 on 17 is about the same in sidewall , granted you are losing that inch in height but I will don't that you will notice

So my question is what's the reason of your post anyways , their are quite a few guys running 20s but most are you scared to post because of people like you and your dumb comments

yeah i see alot from the dealerships here on 35s and 37s. Also agree on more expensive tires and less tire options.
