I'm sure it's a long shot, but is anyone out there running 37" or 38" tall tires on 20" wheels and willing to post some pics? Please keep all negativity to yourselves, thanks in advance.

They call me Cinderella as I can feel pea gravel as I roll the streets.

No pictures from me, but I do need to point out that:

37" tires, 20" wheel = 8.5" of sidewall
33" tires, 17" wheel = 8" of sidewall
Much appreciated comment, thank you for that. 👍🏿

I'll be the first one to bash 20's but on larger tires they look fine. My argument against them is like the white jeep above or when folks do 24's and larger, they should be hung by the tallest tree.

Not yet, but I may. I made the mistake of buying wheel/tire package from dealer without inquiring about the size of the rim and they put my 35s on 20" rims. That said, I may go with 37s and amy or may not change the wheels. Yes, I do take it offroad and have not had any issues other than scraping the rims on rocks. That had more to do with backspacing than diameter of the wheel. Do your homework. I didn't. In hindsight, I would have gone with 17" diameter and different backspacing, like the AEV wheels.

Why? Why I ask?
A short tree will work just fine. It just might take a little longer to get the job done.
I don't think you need to dis short trees like that ... not every tree can be a tall oak you know ;)

37x13.50 mud grapplers on 20” Fuels. I agree with most about 20” wheels looking bad on jeeps. However, these turned out exactly the way I wanted. Most 20s look terrible though.

As long as there's enough sidewall for how you intend to use your Jeep I don't see an issue either. I went looking for 17s, the 20s were on sale for $80 less per wheel so I said what the hell. Your rig looks really good, thanks for posting.

OmG,,, you got the RC bumper (originally made for the JK). First one I’ve seen on the JL. Now I am torn... I just got the Mopar steel and it’s grown on me. But that looks great. And, swapping the light out for a Rigid SR to complement the dd pro fogs would be insane.
