tryin to decide...20's or 22's
I am lookin for some input from some guys who have had either or both. I like the big rim look, but im not sure whether to get 20's or 22's. I have never seen a truck like ours in person with rims or this would be easier. I dont wanna get 20's and when they are on, wish I had gone bigger.

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
Post up a picture of your truck, lowered or .. ? Which wheels were you looking at? I can Photoshop it for you and give you a general idea.

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
just to give you an idea top picture with 20's, bottom picture with 22's in the works still. i really dont think you can go wrong with either size though IMO.

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
Can't go wrong with either. Cost may also play a factor especially if you plan on going billet

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
Budget is the biggest factor IMO. I like them all, stock steelies to big billets. I think you really need to be bagged to pull off 22s. No offense .. just my opinion.

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
I am a firm believer in wheels complimenting a truck, not the other way around. I've never seen a set of 22 ' s that don't look overkill on any build. 20 ' s with the right sidewall can really lend style to these trucks. Overkill is obviously subjective though.

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
I kinda want to get a set of 8" made up to start a new trend but I can't figure out the spacer needed to clear the caliper!!
I would go with the 20's, btw. A much more "standard" size to day that will give you more wheel/tire options.

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
i had a decent looking lip on my 20's with a 5.5 backspace but like mentioned before you can narrow rear end some to give you more backspace which allows more lip you also have to consider a rolled/soft lip vs step lip which a rolled/soft looks deeper in IMO. iam guessing with a 70 you have a 6 lug truck which also means not many wheels are out there with a deep backspace unless you go custom but then again i could be wrong.

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
I'd have to agree, I think the only way to pull of 22's is to be air bagged and to pull off a set of 20's you need very little or no wheel gap to look correct.

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
I fought with the same decision your trying to make. I ended up going with 20's but now wish I went with 22's or at least in the rear. My next set for sure will be 22's. I say if you have 22's in your head at all you might as well pull the trigger on them, if not you will probably regret it like I do.
Also in my opinion I don't think you need to be bagged to pull off 22's. Look at Hectors, you can't tell me his truck doesn't look ridiculous. A nice 4.5/6 or even a 5/7 drop and your good to go. Here's a pic of mine with the 20's.

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
here's a pic with 20's all the way around. TT2s, approx 4.5 / 6" drop. If you can find / take a similar picture of your truck I can 'shop it for ya.

The best of both worlds, 20's and 22's.

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
I don't know what your plans are for a drop, but heres mine with 20s (first two pics)and then 22s (the last two). Bagged of course. That being said, I will eventually go back to 20s, but run a 20x14 in the rear with some meat. I just love the look of a "modern pro-street" truck.

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
I have 22"s but if I had it to do over I would do 20"s instead. IMO a 28 or 29 inch tire looks good on a lowered truck and with a 22 there isn't much sidewall basically rubber bands. I wouldn't say they look bad just think 20"s would have looked better on mine in the end.

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
I think you meant 18's or 19's but I couldn't help it.
Although this is certainly not my style, I do have to give props for the amount of work, time & money that went into building it. Personally I would have went with much bigger wheels & tires ![]() |

Re: tryin to decide...20's or 22's
Colin your truck is incredible. Do you have a build thread on it?
