Default Ur opinion re wheels/tires

I recently bought a blk 2011 hardtop 4 dr JK and am having a tough time settling on a wheel/tire combination.

What are your thoughts regarding the 20 in SRT10 blk Viper rims? What tires would you recommend? I'd like some aggressive looking tires with minimal road noise. I don't plan on doing to much off-roading.

Any and all feedback would be appreciated. ThanX!

20in rims are definitely not my style on a JK... but it's your jeep, so you make it as you please.

How big of a tire are you wanting to put on? If you do a 33" tire with 20" rims it's gonna be more of a harsh ride then say a 35" with 16" rims. Ride factor obviously comes into play with this. Do you want a firmer ride, or more of a mellow ride?

If you are not going to be doing much off roading, you will be fine. The Mud Grapplers are pretty quiet as well.

I haven't ran them with the top off, but I have 35in nitto on 20's and the road noise is minimal and it handles just fine.

I think you mean the Trail Grapplers... the Mud Grapplers are relatively loud.

^^^ Thank you for the correction. Yes Trail Grapplers are pretty quiet.

Not a problem. I'd hate for someone to buy heavy, loud tires expecting something less weighty and quiet.
