One last thought.... There's no reason to give up just because you can't get an off the shelf wheel (that was never intended for your truck) to fit. Why is it soooooo critical to have the wheels this freakin' second? My personal observation is you sound like your pouting because you can't have what you want RIGHT NOW. If the truck was built for a 22/24 combo, stick w/your plan & start saving up for the purchase a little @ a time vs. running out & buying whatever right now.

One last departing thought: Just because it has 24" wheels all around (or a 22/24 combo) does not mean it will be great. 24" wheels can look great if the right back spacing & tire sizes are chosen...... but 20's; or dare I say 15's..... can look just as good . . ....

Well, I sold my 20's to buy new wheels, but I'm moving into my first new home soon, closing Jan. 29th. I can't move the truck outta storage on 15's and the 3in spindles. I had the cash for the wheels pictured so I was going to make a purchase so I can move it. I made a mistake, can't do a spindle swap in the storage biulding and can't buy these wheels. I'll have to think of something so I can move it the Jan 29th to my shop. So, new house, other things, truck wont drive because wheels hit, other things, just going crazy at the moment.
