If you want them to stick out more, then a wider rim with less backspacing will do that. It's illegal in some states to have the tires outside of the fenders. It's your Jeep, if you like the tires to stick out further, go for it!

Who cares what we think? Do you like them? Do whatever you want, people have given you answers based on your op. If you are going for looks dont worry about rubbing just practice your 3 point turns. If you are looking to offroad take the advice people are giving you. We are all just trying to help.

I like the look of wide tires but wouldnt sacrafice trail or street use just for the "look".

If thats all you are looking for try searching the show and tell area. I know there are threads dedicated to all kinds of rim tire combos. Best of luck
