Seems the most popular wheel option is 17”

Like the 1960 and later Plymouth Valiant? We didn't sell many, but there were customers who had cars that used 13". My parents had 3 Valiants over the years and I think when Dad died he still had a set of 13" tires - with almost 0 miles - and wasn't able to sell them. That's a case of the tires were there, the cars that need them were not.

I couldn't remember what model it was but knew you would.??

So I know you remember seeing the small cars of the 70s n 80s with them really small 13in rims and tires too. ?

I had one of those! An '84 Dodge Colt with 13" wheels. It used 135/80 r 13 tires, which were about $35 each. That was my first car. It served me quite well!

Depends. Are you doing this for looks or are you wheeling?
Personally I stick with a 17 because I can air down to 15 PSI. Increased traction and softer ride.
I would not want to air a 20in rim down to 17 PSI. I am sure it can be done, but I would not be a fan.


I'm running a 33in Falken MT on 17s. I have whacked rocks and trees and watched my tires roll over and around them. Great thick sidewall allows for that.

I know on my cars a lower profile tire performs better on the highway. I would imagine 20s on a 37 may offer some edge with handling. But it's a Jeep. You aren't Fast and Facetious in it.

So here we are back to...do you like the look or do you want function? Your Jeep. Build it how you like it.

Love your black rhinos. Looks great!
