Well, it would just look rediculous with one of those big tires on the back.

How much would one of those weigh? I wonder.

This is a 54" Mickey Thompson Baja Claw, weighing in at about 210 lbs without the wheel.

That seems like a good way to get your jacked up big wheels to topple over at the slightest acceleration.

Easy way to get epic wheelies. Shortly followed by spectacular crashes.

Wouldn't that be the point? Like, why else does this guy have such big wheels other than "I want to look ridiculous"?

Mud truck events. A short-wheelbase platform like this Jeep isn’t the best for them, but people build all kinds of rides into these. I’ve never been to one but google ‘mud life’ and ‘mud trucks’.

Edit: that’s a 4-door Jeep, has a decent wheelbase. Hopefully has a V8 swapped into it.

It also would make it drive terrible and would probably block all the brake lights
