JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

If you are running 40's, then 20" wheels are not bad. But seeing how 40's are almost twice the price of 37s there are not a lot of people running 20" wheels. What is the general guideline wheel size about half of tire size?

I'm going to guess either someone who doesn't plan to take their JK rockcrawling and or someone who can afford to or doesn't care if they get beat up a little.

And in point of fact, I've got more rubber to cushion my 22s than any stock JK has, so while it's sure as heck not as good for wheeling as someone running 16s with 37s, it'll do quite nicely as my daily driver and for the occassional trail run.

The ability to run anything from a 15" rim on up and make the JK as individual and unique as you'd like is one of the things that seperates them from just about any other vehicle out there.

20s look great with 40inch tyres or bigger and will still work well off road
