I do get why someone would want to add all the extra weight that 20 inch wheels bring to the JK. Even though it hurts the acceleration, stopping and the fuel mileage as well, the benefit to those that crave, or require it, is that certain look.
Eddie runs many trails on 20s and he runs 40 inch tires as well. Plus he shows his rig at many of the industry trade shows where the big wheel look is a fact of the game. If he wasn't doing all of those shows, I would wager he would be running a lighter wheel package than he does now!
If you want that kind of expo show Jeep look for your ride, go for it!

as far as weight goes, unsprung weight is a good thing as they help to keep your cog down and all four on the floor.

unsprung weight is NOT a bad thing and guys who actually wheel hard like having it.

I know what you mean it's just gets annoying that these guys bash and really have no clue , the biggest issue that most have is the cost of tires

Same lift , cut the fenders for more room
have you ever heard if you don't have anything good to say STFU
The OP asked for opinions, and people gave theirs. Not really giving a crap what you think, so relax. If you dont like the comments people make, then say what you think. It is our opinions and not yours....
the same for you , what kills me is WOL runs 20's and you guys don't have the balls to say anything about that

It gets more annoying when someone takes anothers opinions and calls it bashing. If you want to state that others "dont have a clue" without ever speaking to them, or knowing them ..that is just plain ignorant.

The 35's are a good fit but if you are planning on rock crawling you may want to go straight to 37's. I opted to go with 35's becuase it is still my DD and I do moderate off roading here in Florida that doesn't require major airing down. The tire and wheel set up is heavy but I haul these around running 3.73 gears and it does fine as long as I am not runnning into hills or inclines which again is not prevelant here in Florida. There are a lot of rockstars out there but there are also a lot of pintlers, fuels, monsters, steelies, and other styles so find what you like and enjoy it. Here is mine with 3" of lift and 35" mud grapplers.
