looking for some feedback. i was going to get 22's but i thought about it too much and want 24's

 

Yeah, just run a few beads of black RTV sealant for tires.

 

"I don't care who you are, thats funny right there!"

 

Now on a more serious note....


It is all going to come down to the tire size you plan on running. Any ideas?

 

i believe these are my choices. 305/35/24 OR 295/40/24 OR 295/35/24 OR 285/40/24 TIRES

 

Have you ever ridden on a tire with a 35 or 40% aspect ratio? I have to imagine its like giving child birth over every pothole and bump.

 

lol. yea i have. roads are not too bad in denver

 

yes...the 24" rims will work.

what you need to worry about is the overall tire diameter. your stock 4x4 can fit a 33" tire with a 315 width just fine.

I don't recommend the 24" tires though. As mentioned already, the ride will be brutal. and you'll most likely pop your tires off the rims pretty often.

 

the 305/35/24 should come out close to 33. that is 4.2 inches of side wall correct? that is short for a full size vehicle.i must agree

 

Do you do any "work" with this truck? Only reason I ask is I dont have the foggiest idea what the rating on those tires would be, at that size. Something to think about.

 

i have put 22,000 miles on it and have not loaded it yet.lol. just got 4x4 because i live in colorado. the 295/40/24 would have a 4.6 sidewall i believe so i guess that would be over 33 inches. might just go with 22's so i can get a thicker wheel for protection. sure want some 24's though

 

There is an unending list of questions that I could pose regarding the application of 22 or 24 inch rims on a 4x4 truck. I lieu of that I will just say ,YOU GO GIRL!

 

thats cute. thanks for the serious reply.

 

I just put some 22" Harley rims on my 4x4 truck with 305/40/22 and they don't ride that bad at all. The bumps in the road feel the same so far as my LT-rated 275/65/18 stock tires.

 

Ive seen an 04-08 F150 with 26s so yes 24s will fit.
