I'm betting you'll be just fine with that setup. It should look great.
Yep, I think so, too...

Merry Christmas!

RonH what site do you put in your selection and get to see your combination?
The best I can show you is what the Vectors look like with KO2's mounted...

I have another thread, but saw that this one has more photos - hopefully these additions are helpful!

Any opinions are welcome, too!

I’m narrowed down to the below 4 options (going on Granite). Anyone have experience with any of these, more photos of them, or opinions?

Each wheel name above the photo is a clickable link to more details.

Has anyone tried 15” wheels yet? Do they clear the calipers?

If not, how about 16s?

I'm a big fan too.

I still don't know how I will manage the rear backup camera with the rhino armory though. It looks like it has a big center cap that will have to be removed. What does it look like behind the center cap?

I have the 17" Black Rhino Armory wheels (in black/"gunmetal") with my 35" KO2s.
The camera fits through the center (hub) bore but you would have to leave off or cut a hole in the plastic center piece.
I just left my plastic piece off the spare for now--I have already used a 2.5 hole saw to cut out the very center.
I don't like this as much (it obstructs the view of the camera just a smidge), so I plan to use a jig saw to cut out the entire center of the plastic cover.
(see attached pic: current - blue circle cut out / future = red circle cut out).
The other thing to worry about is that you will need to buy lugs that fit (your entire lug should be able to be dropped through a 22 mm hole, but go with something less than 21 mm, as you still need to get the socket in the lug bore hole). There are plenty if options. I went with some cheap ebay lugs -- 24 of them for about 20 bucks.

You guys are going to want to shoot me...I wonder how 20" Black Rhino Armory wheels with 37"s would look on a Punkin' Rubicon.
Unless the one giving their opinion paid for your Jeep (or they are your significant other), don't worry about what anyone else thinks. Get what you like and makes you happy. If everyone had the same Jeep they wouldn't be as appealing.

That is my plan, with something around 3" lift on Stinggray...
