Default 20" monsters and 33.5 duratracs

So I have a set of 20 inch monsters in my garage from my old dodge ram. Wondering how they would look or if they would work on a 07 jku. I think that they are the same bolt pattern. Anyone have any pics or suggestions. Don't really like the looks of 20's on jku's but I have them. Don't really have the time this weekend to bolt them on myself. thanks

I'm no expert, but it seems like a lot of steal and not enough rubber. You'd want the opposite for any real off-roading. More flex and grip and less mash and scratch.

I believe a Ram is 5 on 5.5 and your JK is 5 on 5. They won't work without adapters.

Besides that the bolt pattern probably won't match up it's just my personal opinion that 20" on a 33.5 for a jeep is not enough rubber and too much wheel!

Sounds like an expensive way to go. The hub adapters will run you $200.00 for the set and the 20" tires are gonna run you close to $400 a piece. This would be fine for a pavement princess but I personally wouldn't want to take off road. Too much wheel not enough tire. Now if you were mounting a 37" or larger tire the 20" wheel would be fine.
