Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
Yay Or Nay?
I was wondering what everyone thought about a 22/24 staggered wheel set up. Was thinking about it, and since I found an extremely wide 24 tire, I thought it would be cool.. The truck would be bagged and sitting level. |

I think it would be sick! If you can swing it, I say do it!

The truck would have all the stock trim and everything except bagged with 22s and 24s.. I need to think hard about this because I cant just return a 24x14 wheel LoL |

Re: Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
I think the 10's up front are going to be hard to fit inside the fenders, without the correct backspacing.
The rear will look sweet, with a 24x14,... but it will need to lay flat on the ground, to pull it off. What's wrong with 22x8.5's and 22x10's?

Re: Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
If we are talking about the blue truck in your avatar I say say don't do it. Call me old fashion but I think it looks great the way it is. Looks like a real clean truck that I wouldn't be cutting up. But thats just me, I am sure it will great however you decide to do it.

Re: Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
Nothings wrong with 22s all around, was just thinking a 24x14 would be badass out back. My 22x10s have a 5" backspace, and i know the porterbuilt drop member pulls the wheels in like 1.25 inches on each side, I think the 10" wide would work..

Re: Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
here's Brown Bag on 22's and 24's and body dropped ...
The width in the front might give you a bit of a problem, but that just might mean cutting! Hope you do it ! Last edited by N2TRUX; 12-23-2011 at 08:46 PM. |

Re: Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
My opinion is dont do staggered sizes. I dont think it works well on these trucks. Run the same size front and rear and stagger tire size instead

Re: Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
Does anyone have any more pics of brown bag? I cant find that many..
I agree to a point, I think they look better with staggered sizes when they are laid out, but if they are not bagged it looks funny. |

Re: Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
I've come up with a decision for you. You can sell me your truck the way it is and start over on a project truck. Just a thought, hope I could help.

Re: Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
Valid point. They do look good laid, but thats it. Once you take it to ride height that goes aeaway. I'm not trying to be negative, but I think 24's are a but much too. Do 22x12 out back and call it good.

Ya ive started having second thoughts, I was thinking about a 22x12 but very limited on what I can run as far as a tire, I would like to have a tire thats taller then 28"s and all the 335 tires that I see are like 26inches tall.. |

Re: Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
What brand of 22's did you order?
Or is that a secret for now? I like your idea of 22's, stock trim, and dropmembers.

I know those wheels.
Excellent choice. They will be perfect on your truck.

Re: Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
Here are two examples. They look good in these pics but I would like to see them at ride height.

Re: Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
I'm thinking about this set-up on my truck too. I think it looks great laid out, but I have yet to see them at ride height. I don't think it would look too bad though.

Re: Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?
It looks ridiculous when the lip on a 24x14 rim is so huge you cant see the actual wheel maybe with a not so aggressive backspace it would look decent.
