are your new rims the same offset as stock?

 

I have Wrangler HPs and the are terrible.

 

Are the people who don't like them running 20's? What type of Goodyear is it?

I am running 17's with the AT/S.

 

These are the Wrangler HPs on 20s. HPs rank 56 of 69 on tirerack and that is being nice. They suck.

 

I thought something was odd. I saw the pic of MOPWR2U and realized we don't have the same tires. For some reason I didn't even think the 20's had different tires.

 

Agreed, I think some of us are talking about different tires.

I am talking about the Goodyear HPs, and they are the worst tires for traction that I have ever seen as standard equipment for a 4-wheel drive vehicle. People that have these tires would I'm sure agree with me on this one.

Other people are talking about the Goodyear ATs, which may be a marginally better tire, particularly for snow.

MMMMRice,
the new rims are close to the same offset as stock. The new wheels have a +18 offset, and a backspacing of 5.71". The stock wheels have a backspacing of 5.75" (as best I can measure with my handy dandy tape measure)

 

To add, the stock 17's are 7" wide. They are not a candidate for 35x12.50's.

 

I have no complaints about the 20" goodyears. Through rain and deep snow they have peformed well. Maybe I'm not that particular about tires but I'm keeping these until they wear out.
Apparently I've never had a good tire because these have performed as well as any tire I've ever had for there purpose.

 

You guys should be glad they didn't stick you with the Wrangler SR-A's. Mine came stock with those, they were bad enough on dry roads, wet roads were almost like driving on ice, snow was something else. I liked the Wrangler AT/S rubber I used to have on my old truck but other than those I've never liked Goodyears.

 

Had those on a previous truck of mine, got rid of them 2 weeks later after almost dying multiple times in wet conditions..Scary stuff
