I am actually looking at the KMC XD123 BULLY.



There are a few issue with these wheels though... The 15's are only 7" wide and the 16's have a 0 offset. I might post a new thread to see if anyone has these on their jeep so I can take a look. I tried searching google and I haven't found anything yet.

I love the look of 35's with 15's but for me I think I'd prob go 17's just for on road control. The 50% rule seems to work pretty well and also works well for my personal eye. So 15's for sure with 33's. 15's - 17's with 35's. 17's-18's with 37's and the only way I think 20's look half way decent is with 40"+.

Seems like a decent rule of thumb. Just don't be the guy that puts 32's on his 20's!!!!
