Do you have a 2WD or 4WD?

What size tire are you thinking of putting on those 24s?

Here's a great tire size calculator! Try and keep the total wheel size below 33 to avoid a lift. Both those sizes appear to be below 32" so you should be good.

Tire size calculator

However, determining offset & backspacing is dependent upon the actual wheel you choose and of course which tire you're gonna go with.

Try this calculator.

a 305/40/22 looks to be about 31.5" tall so no trouble on the diameter at least. the 305/35/24 should still be under 33" so also no lift needed.
You may need a little more backspacing than stock though for the wider tire. I know a 285 clears no problem so maybe 1" more backspace?
There are folks on here that run 305 and 315s so they might be able to tell you what backspace they run.

or your local rim shop will be able to tell you as well... Any metropolitan area rim shop will match most internet prices and although you have to pay tax, you save on the shipping

I think those 20" OEMs on Monsta's 2WD are about 35" O.D. Ken?
