Re: 22's or 24's?

I'll play, just picked this up a few weeks back, has 20/22's

I think 24's look pretty sik, but I'm not a cookie cutter myself.

They were boss 313's with a 265-35.Im not sure on the b/s But there was still a lot of room. Mostly in the rear. I think it had a 3-5 drop,or 3-4 im not sure. I know there wasnt a flip kit on it.

Re: 22's or 24's?

Cool! That's what I thought. The 265/35/22 front seems to be standard issue.

Re: 22's or 24's?

I like those wheels alot. Don't know that I would care for them on a square but they really work on the late model.

Re: 22's or 24's?

This is my take on it. 22 and 24s look sick on our trucks IF!!!!!! they are bagged and laying frame. as you can see with all the pics given. There has only been one example of a truck that isnt layed out rolling on 22+ and it isnt to my taste. I think 20s look the best with just a static drop. just my personal pref.

I halfway agree with this commentl. I think over 20" definitely looks good when laying frame (and is my personal preference), but I haven't seen one that's bagged with a 22/24 in the front and NOT laying frame to say that is HAS to in order to look good.

For example, I'd love to see what LUV2XCLR8's new blazer looks like with 22's in the front to match what's in the rear at that stance (nice ride btw). I think it would look great and possibly even better than what it does now, but I can't recall ever seeing one to say for sure.

Anyone got a pic of one on 22/24's all the way around bagged but not laying frame?

(sorry I resurrected an old thread too)

Re: 22's or 24's?

Ill go ahead and kill the 26 idea. It is not possible on a bagged and bodied truck. We tried doing it and the wheel wants to come into the hood and over the bed rail. If you are running stock, go with 20/22 setup. It looks clean and you can put plenty of meat on the tires for a nice ride. I have 24s all the way around on my crew and the one ride I did get in it before we threw it under the knife again, it was rough but to me, the rough ride is worth the glory of having one of the only crew cabs on 24s that lays rocker.

I hear you even if the only daylight mine has seen was riding on the trailer from the shop to the storage. a crew dually laid out on 24's on a trailer being pulled by a slamed dually on 22's generates a lot of looks and gave me a chubby and a smile the rest of that day even know it was a $h!tty day otherwise

Re: 22's or 24's?

It is a cool truck! It normaly has 20's but we slapped on the 22's for heatwave last year when brad from bonspeed was with us. It rode fine but turning radius wasnt great! Much easier to roll around town on the 20's!
