What’s the rationale behind such large wheels on a Jeep? Or is it just for a different aesthetic?
For me personally, I have no plans to do any rock crawling. I prefer the look of 20’s and will be upgrading to 35 inch tires. 20 inch wheels wasn’t the draw for me. I really liked the upgraded interior and color matched options.

20" wheel are a no go for me. the color match bumpers, not sure about them either. i'm not sure that i like the overall package. i'm more on the traditional bare bone looks if the wrangler.

Jeep is now listing 13 wrangler variants and each is customizable within the variant. I am new to Jeep. Have they done this in the past? Seems like an amazing way to confuse buyers.

They have done this to many models. Just look at Grand Cherokee, there are 14 variants and I bet most people can't tell the difference between Upland, Overland, Highland, and whateverland.

I noticed in the pre-release stuff the wheels were 20"x7.5", but in the builder they are 20"x8".

Do you - or anyone - have the offset/backspacing of these wheels so, you know, the "will these tires fit" without a lift/spacers threads?

The builder shows 275/55r20 - ALL SEASON tires - which I think is 31.8" tall - so 32" I guess. Anyone know the brand?

In all the info I’ve read from various sites, that specific information is not listed. At least not anywhere that I’ve seen.

Nothing wrong with this Jeep - it’s a factory mall crawler edition....to each their own! For me, no thank you....
Agreed. However I’ll be taking mine off-road from time to time. I’ll stay away from anything crazy with the stock tires until I get my 35’s.

20 inch wheels, pretty painted bumpers, no manual option... why are you buying a wrangler again?? Might as well hop in to a grand cherokee.
