i guess their alrite...to tell u the truth i had never seen 22 or 24 inch back rims on an f150...with the chrome ring around them they are not bad...but im not really a lowered truck kind of guy but their alrite...smooth and clean look.

Unless that is the look you are going for, I'd recommend the 22's -- they seem to be the best balance of rim, tire, and wheel opening!
So 24s are ghetto (I guess thats just a nice way of saying "n***ered up"..right?) but 22s aren't? Thats kind of like saying 33s are cool but 35s are "redneck". But hey, I guess you have to draw the line somewhere....to each his own.

I can remember not too long ago (back in 2000 or so) when 20s were "ghetto". Hell back when my 97 Ram SS/T came out and it had 17s on it they were HUGE at the time. .

When tastefully done, anything looks good.

Exactly...you have to take a total package look at things. One mod has to work with another. You can very easily go overboard.

IN HID's case he lowered his truck and the 22s fit and look great. I made up my mind before I bought this truck I was not going to lower it (my last 3 trucks have been lowered and I just didnt want to go that route again) so to me for the tires and wheels to fit the truck the way I wanted them too I wanted 24s. I was afraid that 26s would be "too big" to look right, but after seeing the 24s I dont think they would have. Keep in mind 24s on these trucks look like 22s do on Chevrolets.

SS/T, your truck is sick! Last month I bought a Black 05 super crew lariat 4x4 with 20's, the dealership added them on as a promo, anyway, wish i had the option at the time to go bigger, the 20's with 275/55/r20 ltx's aren't cutting it, hah, looks good, don't get me wrong, but 24's are the way to go.

Go big for sure, just make sure you can afford it!!!
