Here is 37's on 20's with a 3.75 BS , so you can find wheels with a low BS

Now with you wanting a low profile tire it will be hard to find one in a mud tire , I think 33 will be the smallest

Now if you jump to a AT tire you might be able to find something smaller around a 29" tire

I wouldn't think there would be a problem finding a low pro tire mud tire for any size wheel, check Craigslist too. I see lifted Chevys everyday up to 24" with low pro 33-40" tires round here in CA.matter of fact, I'm sure ill get hated on for this, but in all the other vehicle forums, the majority of people lifting their trucks are 20-22". That's jeep forum though, more tradition/function, less progression and going with what's hot at the moment with other vehicles. To each their own though. I'd guess the jeep forum crowd has more age diversity than truck forums

It's not about tradition or progression or age (though you tried to veil your true meaning). The reason you won't find Jeepers putting 24-inch rims on their vehicles is because they don't work offroad. Period.

That's not why at all. I think there is a pretty good age range here actually. There is actually a thread somewhere that everyone states there age. The difference is here most are about function over form and a lot of trucks are opposite. Or the form is towing which a larger rims and lower profile tire would help with this also. The function here though for most is taking there rigs off road and this tire rim combo doesn't work that well. The op even states somewhere here that he doesn't off road anymore.

As you can see in the pic, the tires say 37-13.5-22. I know it is a 3/4 ton Ram, but if you have the lift, that would look pretty cool.

Or, you go for this look..... I think that these are 26's. I'd have to go out on a limb and say that is probably the lowest profile you'll find on a Jeep. I'd never run this package, but I can't lie, it does look pretty sweet...big $$'s though!! Not practical at all, but neat none the less.

That's what age diversity means actually and we pretty much both said the same thing lol. Beers!
I don't like how people get hated on for it when it's pretty standard in other forums to have bigger rims. I understand the sidewall issue and all that but this is a jeep wrangler vehicle forum, not solely a rock crawler forum.
