The look is personal taste, and I am not sure this is the point. If you run trails and need to air down you're in for trouble. There will not be enough sidewall for the tire to flex and maintain a sealed bead. This is not debatable, I think all would agree.
I regret going to 17 inch rims and 33's, and need to upgrade to 35's mainly so I can air down properly. If I go below 15psi I will change a tire on the trail. I even have to at 15psi. I need to run about 10psi for the traction. With 20 inch rims and 35's, you will have bead problems off road.
You just need to know the real world downside, regardless of your taste in the looks.

Just depends on what you intend to use your jeep for.
i do like those 20 rockstars though.
as lots of peeps have stated i would be a little concerned with the lack of much sidewall when airing down.

Everyone likes different stuff just like you and your Smittybilt Nerf-Steps 
[/QUOTE]The funny part is that, the smittybilt Nerf steps were for the wife who is handicapped.
Now that we found a better way for her to enter the Jeep (other than LOWERING it) I was looking into running your "EVO Armor Rock Sliders". But found after contacting you via a PM that you don't sell them seperate from your Armor kit. Small world.

i agree with Fish, u want plenty of sidewall if your going off-road. you want the flex of sidewall for improved traction,and ride, besides when you trash that 20 on a rock it aint cheep to replace it

I was originally think of getting 35x12.5x20's for daily driving and some 35x12.5x15's for offroading....i like both looks but $$$ is tight in todays economy so the 35x12.5x17's on factory rims is gonna be the choice for now.
do what you like.
do what you like.

eh... 20's In my opinion are not so good. Stay with a smaller wheel, more sidewall flex and wheel protection off road. On the other hand if you spend all your time on the street why stop at 20's...
