Anyways I always kind of based it off a 2:1 ratio for tire/wheel diameters. I think 37's look okay on 20's but that's gotta be the limit. There's no way I'd run 35's on 20's. Just looks silly but that's only my opinion and you know what they say about opinions. Most guys I see running 20's usually are on 40+.

I was just curious why you decided to go with 20's. I was thinking more of the added weight and the increased cost per tire, as like you said it's the same amount of sidewall.

Rig looks good! I am by no means an expert was simply a curious question.

Understandable. i guess one reason is I had 37s on my previous truck and liked them. and as far as 40s are concerned i didn't want the extra width. the price is fine with me. the tires on my car are 550 each so nothing new.

as far as wheel and tire size are concerned I think it depends what they're on. jku 20s and 37s and 20s and 40s look the best in my opinion. on a 2 door i think 17s and 35s look the best. my 2011 ram had 22s and 37s. thought it looked great. wouldn't do it on a jeep though.

yes, the top is easy to use. i wasnt sure if i would like the sunrider part but its kinda nice. once the front is open, doors off and back windows out its nice to have a little shade over the back
