The weight alone of a 20x12 is going to cause more wear and tear, not too sure whats going to need to be cut/clearanced to have a half way decent turning radius. Are you planning on re-gearing?
yes going with 4.10s don't plan on going over 33s an would like to stay below 3k on the highway so don't really want to go 4.56s

glad to see u have plenty of time on your hands obviously there are rocks in Florida but rock crawling isn't really a thing around here you'll find 10000 mud holes to every 1 trail with rocks

You stated you liked how it looked...you were told at that width you'd have clearance issues...and that it will look retarded. There's 2 reasons you don't see them on the road like that, 1. it doesn't work well, and 2. it looks retarded. But you like looking retarded I suppose...your money.

BTW you should really know WTF you're talking about before you open your mouth. My XJ was plenty capable before welding in stiffeners, and ran many trails from Colorado to California, and several places in between. I added them in to make it even better, and what do you know, it worked great, and there is no constant rewelding that you talk about, because I installed them correctly and know how to weld. Did my research, for not only what I wanted, but what was needed to make it all work properly.

I'm closing this crapfest before it gets out of hand. Good luck to you, and your new wheels. Hope your wallet can afford the wear and tear on the rest of your rig.
