I vote for more sidewall as well. Are you intending to wheel a lot? I'd also go for the set that weighs the least. Rotational mass is real.

Out of those two set ups, factory. I'd never go with 20" rims or 13.5" wide tires, for form and function but your usage may be different than mine.

My 2 cents goes to the KMCs. Think that little red ring accents great against the blue paint.

I love how the ridge grapplers ride with the kmc but the grappler combo is about 35 lbs more than the factory with the pats

I like grapplers more then the milestars personally I was just talking about the sizing. I have 38x12.5x 17 grapplers coming for my rig

That factory wheel looks really good on your color. I think the red takes away a little.

I currently have the 37" 17r Milestars and although they were less expensive and lighter, they wear horrendously. Mine have bad scalloping which causes a multitude of vibrations. Less than 16k on them and one has already worn through the siping. I plan on getting something different next but not sure what. I'm leaning towards the Ridge Grapplers...

I may end up putting the KMC with the ridge grapplers back on and doing a fender chop.
thanks for everyones opinions. The factory rims with 37 inch pats may be for sale soon.

Usually I’m not a fan of red that’s why I got a Mojave but the red accent ring on those with a blue jeep looks good

Those KMC`s just went on my shopping list...
I currently have them for sale. I just can’t decide between the two sets of rims and tires
