Wheels/Tires?

[bull1055]

Hello everyone, I picked up my Jeep JLUS about a month ago. Installed wheels/tires about 2 weeks ago (have less than 500 miles on them) and I am having second thoughts, considering selling and taking the loss. I went with black rhino 20x9.5 -18 offset with 4.5 BS with 305/55/20 wheels.

Regret #1 - 20’ rims
Regret #2 - -18 offset (feel like they stick out a bit too much)

Help!!! Thoughts? Lol

That seems to be a popular combo in FL. I prefer positive offsets & 17s to keep poking to a minimum and more sidewall available. Probably be able to sell them for decent cash back if it's not what you wanted since those are more common in your area.

Yeahhhh not sure about 20’ rims... I’d stick to 17-18’

I never really liked when the wheels stuck out past the fenders. The rims may also be a little large for it.

I have a Sahara also and I noticed I liked the wheels lot more when I painted the grill inserts.

Wheels are very much personal preference. So you’re just getting opinions.

First of all your Jeep looks great.

I personally don’t like 20’s or a wide stance. But lots of people do. Your jeep is pretty tasteful even if it is not my preference. It’s also not a very functional combo for off-road but that may not be your priority.

You may be overthinking it. Enjoy your Jeep!

I ordered the unpainted/black grill inserts and fog light bezels from Mopar a couple of days ago. They get here this week!!

Yup. That’s the look down here. I really liked it at first then I started really looking at different jeeps in this forum, etc. If i decide to swap I’ll def go 17s and maybe a 0 offset.

Just realized you got yours from Kendall. That's where I got mine.

I think wheels and tires on a Jeep are a good idea.

:P

Thank you!! You made my decision much easier. Wheels and tires it is. Lol

Nice! Great color choice on your Jeep.

The Rubicon fenders are about 0.75" wider, which could help with the poke issue.

I dunno, I'm digging the offset, looks pretty nice. A little aggressive without being too much. Then again, may be different in person.

But those 20s... Man, @ThirtyOne is right, personal preference and all that, but those 20s just don't look right...

Here’s a simple test.

Park next to a curb. If the curb is higher than your sidewalls, your tires are too small for your wheels.

20’s only look okay on 37”+ tires.

I like a solid side 20 inch rim but with narrower tires and no offset. Looks more like the original Jeep wheels of the Willy’s.
