another wheel question

[carlossi]

Finally I'm decided to get the XD rims from http://4wheelonline.com/XD_Wheels.67249, though I'm not sure whether to get the 20’s or 22’s. Just curious what's everyone's favorite wheel size and why? Thanks in advance for any help.

20, 22's? Neither How bout 16 or 17's. Less rim more rubber. I guess if you never intend to take it Offroad then it don't matter I guess. Sorry, I'm just not into the rubber band look.

^ Yeah that x 2. More rubber, less rim is better if you plan to wheel your rig and I too prefer the look and ride of smaller wheels.

17s! More options for tires in that size!

If you want big rims stick with 20's..... If your going to do any wheelin' then get some 17's as they have the most options out of any of the rim diameters

I personally love my 22's with 37's and have never had a problem off-roading with them, but I have an H2, so maybe that makes a difference.

Btw, what the hell is the "rubber band look"??

yeah, definite look like rubber bands...but I have seen the same kind of tires on 16's, 17's etc...what does that have to do with 20's or 22's?? Those rims are 34's

Here in AZ everyone runs 20"+ wheels on their lifted trucks. I think it looks completely counterproductive. Hell I remember running 15's with 37's on my old lifted truck back in the day. Having less sidewall essentially turns an offroad vehicle into a street queen.

Granted, mine rarely sees offroad as it is my daily driver and I can't afford to break things....just yet lol. However, when I bought wheels I still stuck with 17's. Also look at the price of rubber when you'll have to replace the tires. You'll pay out the ass for replacement rubber for 20"+ wheels.

Matter of fact I sold my stock wheels to a guy with an H2 who put 22's on his because he thought they looked cool. Came time for new rubber and he didn't want to spend the money so he saw my add and bought my stockers. Told me he was thinking about trying to sell his wheels to get a smaller size!

"street queen" :giggle:

 

[Renagade132]

I run 22's and I will never change them, nor in Any way, do I consider my truck to be a street queen or ineffective while off roading. So until you have tried it, dont give negative comments on them.

37s on 22s is different than 32s on 22s as you still have some sidewall! 5" more!!

To each and his own but your 22's would be beat to hell after a trail like this, my 17's took a good amount of damage

Exactly, I have 37's and 20's right now, but the side wall is the same as a 16" rim with 33" tires.

The Toyota guys I used to wheel with tried to make fun of my once, then I told them to get out their tape measure and see how that played out... One guy did and was shocked that I had over an ince more side wall then him!

That said I am going to 16's soon to get the full advantage of running 37's very soon.

Thanks amrg...I'm actually considering replacing my tires with 38's, just have to make sure my clearance works out, without needing to add more height to my rig.
