My concern would be your sidewall and limiting your offroading. Here's a pic of mine with Toyo M/T 33x12.5x18
And here's a JK with 20" Rockstars and 37's
Looking at the two pics it would seem as though your sidewall is going to be awfully shallow, they may end up looking like 50 series tires. I would have the shop mount them and put them up next to the JK first before you buy. It may end up there isn't enough sidewall for your preference or that there's too much wheel gap for your taste.

Fair call jeeperjkj, I'm just considering those specs at this stage that's why I'd like to see some pics if available. I'm also considering 22"s with 37's unfortunately Toyo & Nitto M/T tyres in those sizes are not available in Australia, so I have to rely on imagination and advice.
To the others, if we all had the same taste and style there'd be no need for forums and customisation

I understand what you mean when you say everyone has different taste, but it isn't always about taste. It would not be safe to run off road with little tires. If you really want big rims, then go with 18's. Keep in mind the bigger the rim, the more they cost (tires to).

DITTO, you need more meat between the wheel and outside tread if you wanna off road, but if you wanna mall crawl, then thats your gig.
you all for your input, especially those with constructive comments, 18" with 36" it is!
