Just for the heck of it. Jumped on a very good deal for these 20x12's to fit our 04' Ram. Had some 35" AT's and threw them on and I just "had" to see what the sami would look like.

Actual measurements 31 tire vs 35 tire is additional 3" of ground clearance. I am sure this truck would float with this much tire!
This is my normal setup: relocated (higher) shock mounts 31's with front YJ swap w/missing link (this pic is prior to doing the rear YJ swap). I will swap to a 33 eventually.

Also I uploaded a few short video clips

I have to admit, I fully expected something that looked retarded when I clicked on this link...
But....
I actually really like it... You might be onto something here
thanks for sharing.

It really doesn't look bad. It's mainly the lack of wheel well clearance that looks off.
I have a couple other pictures at different angles I will upload. They sure are heavy!

The front is where things do not look proportional. 2-3" body may correct it if one wanted to run them. Reminds me of a tonka toy.

That doesnt look all that bad,,,,
But I gotta ask, what in all holy heck does Dubs stand for/represent? I hear all the ricers and gangsta wannabes saying it, but what does it mean?

I thought that is what the younger crowd called 20's? ..
-
I have heard that as well from kids, the only thing I can think of was decades ago the inner city/ghetto slang for a 20$ bag of pot was a dub.
-
Have also heard them called twinkies donks and dueces lol. ... and I am about as southern as one can be. Boy that sure seems politically incorrect!!
-
I run 34's but not on the 20" rim. I like the more tire look vs the more rim lower profile tire look. On yours I like the off road tire look much better that the all terrain style tire. JMO.....
-
Looks ok..
Dubs = 20"
Jordan's= 21"
Deuces = 22"
Donk = A CAR that requires a lift to clear wheels

I agree. I like the more aggressive/off-road look. Its always a trade off right? ...Wheel-well clearance is needed with my suspension setup. I just dont think the 31's look correct with the body mass... esp. when the hard top is on. 33/34 would be better suited IMO but I would need some body lift to keep my flex I would imagine.
What type of terrain do you wheel with 34's and are they MT or ? ...Im not against running 35's and adding body lift. I just enjoy climbing wash outs/sand hills and dont want to go too far with axle strain. I can tell you those 35's handle 100% better than the 31s I have... plus with the added surface area (13" wide vs 9"), lift (3"), and mass... they would probably get the sami through more stuff off-road.
-
I like the look too, but I'm surprised they are heavy, well compared to your 31's. I would think less tire and more rim would weigh less, but it still looks cool. I always thought my Tracker would handle a lot better with 18/20 " rims and a total tire height of about 33. I may have to look into that. I think you got something there >:D
-
I love the look. It does look like a Tonka truck. Keep the 20's. 8)

I run TSL Super Swampers... terrain is mostly mud holes / river, creek beds, logging roads. I am RUF / SPUA with some Virtual trimming. Because of the Sammi short wheelbase I want to stay low so that the stability triangle isn't adversely effected to the point that climbing a hill or two and maybe getting a little sideways isn't a problem...
