I will get 4" Superlift Kit, Plus 1" Body Lift.

I cant get over the look on this toyo tire. The rim will be different, but I ove the way they look.

Question is, is offroading, rock crawling hampered by the 20 in rims? What would the difference be from 17" to 20" in ride be?

Thanks In advance for your posts.

 

By the way the tire is the Open Country 35X12.50R20 by Toyo.

 

They look expensive. I wouldnt want to scratch that

 

The 20" wheels will hamper offroad performance. They will work to a point, but you won't have enough sidewall flex.

Just because you like 20s doesn't mean your Jeep will like them. It's like putting a curse on it. If you put those on, your Jeep is going to hate you for it . Be good to it and it will be good to you. Just my 2c

 

I would suggest 18's be as high as you go for rim diameter. It's a good compromise between the bigger wheels you want, and also a very common size for Mud and All Terrain tires.
17's are becoming less readily availalble, and some 15's rub the calipers. 20's are more for the 'street & show' crowd.
That's just my .02 cents

 

32-17= 15/2=7.5
35-20=15/2=7.5

which all equals

 

The Toyo Mt is available in the 35x12.5 17 and 35x12.5 18 you don't need the 20. My jeep used to wear the 35x12.5 17 toyo mt and i switched to the bfg km2. Look at my pic it has the 35x12.5 17 toyos on it. I also agree i think the 20 would be to big for off road use. Not enough sidewall.

 

So 35-17=18/2=9=better traction, all while not looking like a mall crawler

 

Put 20's on it.... Just make sure you wrap it with a 45x15x20 tire... Otherwise it would look like hell.... I just don't see putting a tire on a wheel that big... Makes it look better for racing on pavement... Just makes the whole Jeep look less capable... And if you have the same sidewall from stock, what was the point of upgrading? I thought you upgraded to better sidewall flex, no the same....
