22's vs. 24's on a drop

Im dropping my 2008 F150 FX2 with belltechs 3/5 drop kit. I want the wheels to look clean under the truck but im afraid 22's will still look small even with the drop, but i dont want the 24's to look to damn big in there either...so let me know what you guys think, 22's or 24's?

The wheel im looking at getting is the veloche vortex. heres a site with them on a F150, pics are at the bottom of the page.

Depends how you want to go about it...

You basically have two very different tire size options on the 22 inch wheel, one is wider and not quite as tall, and the other is taller and not quite as wide(45 series).

I personally opted for the 305/40/22 (Wider and shorter) with my 2/4 drop and 22s. I think it looked good. It was VERY drivable, and handled like a freaking sports car (all things considered).

Could it have had a slightly taller tire? Yeah...sure...but I didn't want to give up the contact space on the tire.

Here's some pics of my setup...hope it helps.

IDK Id go 22s b/c if you go with a flipkit later on 24s wont fit. but if you are dead set with the 3/5 go with 24s

If you don't do black with a polished lip, do all black. It'd be sick !!
