what were the differences you experienced?

flamingbig10 · 08-27-2009, 10:45 PM

In most cases shorter the side wall will cause a harsher ride and also less rim protection

**nlped** · 08-28-2009, 07:42 AM

And of course the increase in unsprung weight, i.e. the additional 2" of wheel will contribute to the rougher ride too.

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..

where did u get that flame pinstripe?

staggerd86c-10 · 08-28-2009, 04:42 PM

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.

flamingbig10 · 08-28-2009, 04:44 PM

how about 30"s

looks like one of them DONK cars they lift up and put big rims on

staggerd86c-10 · 08-28-2009, 05:01 PM

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 I have one of those so-called donk cars and being from miami where donks orginated that big rim look is getting outdated everyone is starting to lower their cars again and look normal.

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.

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
