With the way that this hiphop crap is affecting the youth today, 28's will be like 24's are today come next year. Remember when 20's were big? Whatever, nobody cares about this reply but he might as well take those rubber bands off and start riding on his rims, I'm sure they come in contact with eachother over every pebble in the road.

 

Good point, hard to imagine this truck needing bigger rotors than my 04 PSD superduty....but I'll have to check before I buy.

yes...

ceh

 

16s won't fit! I already tried. You would need one hell of an offset if you wanted to make them fit. Probably not a good idea either way.

 

I agree 100% That thing is friggin ugly!!

 

Just not for me.

 

How many posts are you going to start about your new rims and how big they are going to be? This has to be your 6th or 7th one in a matter of 4-5 days.

BTW...the 28's look horrible. Why not buy a 1980 Chevy Caprice and put 28" wire spokes on it and drive it around? Maybe make them spin too. that would look sweet.

 

Man......it doesn't get much cheesier!

What a shame.

 

in my opinion, 20's are still big. 22's look ok on these trucks if they're done right, but most of the 22 inch plus sized rims are just way too overpowering for the look of a truck. dont get me wrong, i like the look of my 20's but i dont think i could go even up to a 22 unless i really thought the rims would fit... and good god 28s make the truck look like a tonka toy. yuck. something about spending half the amount your truck costs on new wheels for it seems a little dumb to me. someone said something about today's youth... i'm 20 and it seems like i'm the only one who even likes the performance look over the ghetto cruiser, let alone one who works in order to buy what i want. what i'm wondering is why some of these 'big wheel' guys are running around on stock brakes. i have yet to see a decent set of larger calipers and rotors for this truck... and whoever thinks the stock brakes will slow down a truck with anything over 22's on it the same as stock is smoking something... not to mention, its not safe.

 

Only 42 years difference, I am 62, and I agree with all you said. Amazing , huh?

 

Those rims are not necessarily my cup of tea, however I must admit it still looks a lot better then some members around here choice of wheels. Nothing like putting on the cheapest rim and tire combo one can find regardless for street or off-road, Those folks should just stay with stock and have some cash to purchase new tires for their home when the time comes.

Stock brakes are fine if you get the right wheels. I'm not too sure what 20's you have but I bet my 24's are the same weight as your if not lighter.

 

The technical term becomes: "bfugly"; pronounced: buhfuglee.

 

i'd have to call bull***** on that bud. bigger wheel = more metal = more weight. ask anyone on here if their braking distance has increased with a larger wheel. i know mine has, and i have relatively light wheels. whatever material you can get in a 24 i can also get in a 20... unless your 24's are made out of styrofoam. each one of my 20's weighs in around 42 lbs without tires. even if you do go with a lighter 24, the TIRES would weigh a ton compared to my 285's. there's no way you can say that a tire thats almost an inch wider and probably a bit taller is lighter than a 285/50/20. you'd have to be running at least a 305? correct me if i'm wrong but thats about a foot wide. where mine are right around 11" wide @ 31.5" tall an inch of rubber in both directions + more metal = more weight .

 

Its not the wieght of the wheel per say; Its where the weight is centered relative to the axel.

24" has most of its weight farther from the center of the wheel, making it harder to stop rotating. Just cause the wheel is lighter, doesnt mean it will stop any faster if the majority of the weight is farther from the center.

Does that make sense to anyone besides me?
