20's or 22's???
I got the plan for all my performance parts and I'm pretty set for what I need to purchase and whatnot..
On to my question... I got offered a really good deal on either some 20's or 22's for my truck.. (less than $450 a set shipped)
Questions tho.. what kind of lift would I need to fit them?
The wheels are not hub-centric.. does this matter?
For the 22's I found tires that are 305/40R/22.. this tire is only like 33 inches tall correct?
And my final question.. how big of a poser am I with these? I like the look.. but I question how old it would be to have to pull them to haul...
Any picks would be nice..
Thanks for the help guys.

I'd say you'd need at least a 35" tire to make a 22'' look decent, and at that point it would have to be a black wheel (no pun intended). 22" chrome would look way too large with a black tire surrounding it, but with black wheels, its less vivid.

When you get up in that size wheel, tire prices get outrageous. I don't think that I would go with anything bigger than a 20" wheel. I went with 18" wheels myself, and I got my tires on sale for around $153 per tire but........any tire that I priced before I found that deal was $200 and up per tire. The 20s would only be higher I would guess.

Wow!!! $400 a piece? thats crazy.. I may just have play rims and work rims.. swapping them is not too hard.. or I could be logical and just buy 18s.. but what fun would that be

Get some 19.5 wheels and 285/70/19.5s ( about 34-35 tall) and have some weight capacity when you're towing. Nothing beats a H rated 16 ply tire for hauling a load. and they last forever
22 in rims,humph, next thing you'll want to do is put hydraulics on it so it will bounce around the parking lot.

$600 a set for my stock tires - average 50k a set.
they would have to last 200k to justify that cost.. still nice tho.

Bigger tires/wheels is just one of those things you do because you want to do it.
Tires get much more expensive the bigger the size.
Good luck on your decision. I am also shopping around for wheels and tires. IMO anything bigger than a 19 or 20" is just funny lookin.
