Default 35's on 20 inch rims?

Anyone have 35's on 20 inch rims? If so, please put up a pic! I'm getting my sahara unlimited lifted at the end of the month and I can't decide if I want to use the factory 18's or go up to 20's (SRT8 rims) with 35's. Any opinions? This is my DD so it will spend the majority of the time on the highway with the occassional trail. No rocks.

cost will be a lot more for a 35 on a 20" rim instead of a 35 on a 16" or 17" rim

the "almightycrash" has 325/60/r20

Personally, I wouldn't even consider 20's unless I was running a 40" tire or larger. Nothing wrong with 20's, but you need at least a little bit of sidewall to allow for flex when aired down...

17's with 35's = 9" sidewall
18's with 37's = 9.5" sidewall
20's with 40's = 10" sidewall

20's with 35's = 7.5" sidewall (or less if it's not a "true" 35" tire)

Go for a size 18 or less when going with a 35

20's for the increased stability on the road. That and I really like the SRT8 rims! Price wise, 35's for the 20's are almost the same price as 35's for the stock 18's. If I go down to a 17 in rim, I've been looking at the Fuel series; however, I haven't seen anyone running them yet.

I like the 35s on 20s. They look great, I rarely air down anyway. I would do it, but I like the stock Rubis and 35's more...

I don't like 20" rim on a JK
