What size tires since you want to run 20s , then I will give some feedback

Some people will say your tire should be at least twice the size of your rim, so 20" rim = 40" tire at least. That's not likely what you had in mind. But, as the first guy on this thread replied, do what makes you happy. It's your Jeep, no one else's. But if you are looking possible issues, one thing I could think of is the less sidewall you have on your tire, the less squat it gets if you air down when you are off road. If your not going offroad I can't think of an issue, other than tires are more expensive for 20s.

It's your choice, but first decide what look you're after ...
This ...
Off-roader. "I checked another destination off my bucket list today!"
or this ...
Not off-roader. "I need some excitement. Let's go to Starbucks and grab another Latte Grande!"
Honestly, it makes not a bit of difference how you use that Jeep, you'll be pegged for what it looks like by every Jeeper who knows a thing about going off-road. If you don't care about that, then build that beast with those twenties!

If it's going to stay on pavement (which I doubt any texan would), do whatever looks best to you.

Coming from a guy with 20s if you don't plan on running at least 35s then I wouldn't do it unless you know you wheel never take it off road

Did you already get the rims and tires? Like the others have said, taking a 20 off road and airing down to 12psi might be an issue. Another thing to think about is that rims get scratched off road...alot. So putting 20s looks great when you pick it up, but they end up trashed after a few off road trips. But, if your "off road" trips consist if dirt roads, and you like the 20s, you should be fine.
