Re: 22's or 24's?
First my truck isnt lowered.... here is pic of it
![]() Like the guys has said... rougher ride... 22's are rough also.. I had 305's on so it wasnt so bad... expect a 1" of play for tire clearance with thoughs in steering... Overall I did experiance a... heavy feeling while driving... maybe because I had such a big foot print.. ![]()

Re: 22's or 24's?
In most cases shorter the side wall will cause a harsher ride and also less rim protection

Re: 22's or 24's?
And of course the increase in unsprung weight, i.e. the additional 2" of wheel will contribute to the rougher ride too.

Re: 22's or 24's?
it looks like its off of a harley f150. I think bigger is better also but for some reason these trucks look right at home with 20s imho, 22s dont look too bad either but i think its driving a fine line. wheels can make or break your truck. Im in the process of looking for new wheels for my truck too cause im not really 100% happy with the wheels that are on there now.

Re: 22's or 24's?
yeah that would look absolutely.........horrible. I have one of those so-called donk cars and being from miami where donks orginated that big rim look is getting outdated everyone is starting to lower their cars again and look normal.

Re: 22's or 24's?
Yeah, but that bubble isn't a high rider. Big inch wheels in proportion to the vehicle are cool. Lifting one to put cartoon size wheels on is just wrong.

Re: 22's or 24's?
I really don't know, one day this tool bar showed up on computer with a scripting which allows me to highlight any thing I want and also save it
