[Flip]

This is what I could get down with.

Did you catch that? Get down. Huh huh huh huh

The 3% before it starts to tamper with the speedometer and the mileage.

What are you trying to do? Get a little more height? Go off-road? Look ‘cooler’? I’m lost. Go to this and put in your tire size and see alternates and their dimensions.

Have the tires stick out just a bit and look more beefy, yeah I guess you can say ‘cooler’ look.
Height is not deal breaker but if it can be done then yes that to without doing lifters

Thank you so much dragonegg. for the chart!
Very clear and 100% understanding. Thanks once again!

I thought this was gonna be another 50 pager but it somehow got resolved in 3.

Nah, we didn't even start talking about lifters yet.

The best way to get more ‘poke’ is to get different wheels with less (more negative) offset. You won’t get much more poke with wider tires because you are limited to your wheel width.

Again, look at that calculator I linked. If you go to the next wider tire than your 275/55-20s… 285/55-20s, you only gain 0.2in… per side, for a 295 you gain 0.4in per side. Chart also shows your percentage height increase.

Understand that the first number is your tire width. The second number is the ratio of your tire height/width. So, 55 is a low profile tire (not much sidewall).

Let’s not beat the new guy up for being unaware of all things wheels and tires, or Jeep.

Are you sure you want to keep a 20” wheel? A 33” tire on a 20” wheel isn’t near as beefy looking as a 33” tire on a 17” wheel.

If you aren’t planning on lifting, a zero (0) offset wheel will push about 3/4-1” of the tire outside of the fender. Any further will likely rub.

As for the 3% speedometer error, tough call. But going from a 32” tire to a 33” tires isn’t a big change. Your speedo already may already read 2-3 MPH fast at 60 MPH. Going up an inch in tire diameter will likely make it read correctly. You can check this with many of the available speedometer apps out there, I use Speedbox.

Many people seem to use the word “rim” in place of wheel. Some will get touchy about that. 20” and larger wheels aren’t taken seriously in the Wrangler community.

All Wranglers are Trail Rated, whatever that really means is up for debate.

275/60/20 is 33”, and will fit with no lift.

What is the percent limit, a New York state thing?

The 3% tolerance limit for mileage and speedometer readings is important to consider. At the same time, I want to achieve a bold, aggressive look while keeping my rims at 20 inches. Apologies for the rough phrasing earlier.

Thank you,
True gentleman!
I see this platform is loaded with a whole bunch of ladies who have their panties in a bunch and are driving around a manly man trucks! This is all new to me. I will not be driving off-road, it’s more for show.
- so what I am looking to achieve is without doing any other work expect for replacing (for the ladies in the group) WHEELS and tires.
1) that 3/4”-1” effect past the fender you mentioned.
2) wider tires with slightly more aggressive threads
3) not to exceed 3%
4) maintain low noise and smooth drive for long highway drive.
I kind of like fuel wheels and grappa tires. The problem I have is, I don’t know what size to go with. And is grappa going to give me the ride I am looking for?
Can you recommend anything?
Thank you!

What's "grappa tires"?

What's "grappa tires"?

I just googled it and the only thing that comes up is an Italian wine.

I think what @jimmy357 should get is a set of 33" Rubi takeoffs and some cheap skinny fenders from Amazon. He'll get the larger more aggressive tire look he wants and it'll give it the poke affect he's looking for.

Except he wants to keep a 20” wheel.

Is this Jimmy?

Well I guess then that's where I'm confused. Why does he want new wheels when he already has the wheels he wants?
