No...I was talking to Koolaid Kid. He's the one that I quoted and the one that had commented on my truck. You just posted between us.

 

Ya I had a 2001 navigator....I dunno it was just getting old my dad decided to get me something new and I really wanted a pick up for some reason I dont really know why.....but ya the f150 is great I love it

 

lol ohhhh sorry ram....your still a good guy I was jsut saying but since you werent talking to me then im apologize....lol if i did offend you which i dont think i did...by the way ur truck is nice for stock

 

LOL...MY TRUCK IS THE BLACK ONE WITH 24s, and its far from stock. Not the stock King Ranch...I was using a picture of his truck as an example like he did mine.

 

OOO hahaha sorry...i have been having a few drinks tonight Im not paying that much attention I was trying to read some stuff up for my cousins truck for himmm..lol very sorry....but ya I love the 24's....i cant wait to get mine ....lookin good and keep it up

 

I didn't criticize you. I don't like the 24's on any truck, not just yours. I can have that opinion if I want.

If you like them, that's all that matters.

By the way, I've ridden on plenty of 24's. Probably more than you have ever seen in real life, or in magazines and internet shops. Not that it matters. The facts are plain as day.

If you would be honest abut it, it would go a lot farther in trying to sell people on those 'O' rings you call tires.

 

Well I would like to know where you have all this experience with 24s from...very interesting (and imagination doesn't count!) I can absolutely tell you my Kumho tires ride as good as any truck tire I have ever road on. Sidewall flex on a street tire is way over rated...36PSI is 36PSI. These tires are designed for higher grade cars (Hummers, Escalades, Navigators and such) and thus have ride quality engineered into them. There is a reason these tires cost so much...superior engineering and materials. Now I am sure some of the new cheaper tires on the market may have issues but the tires in the $500 each range (Kumhos, BFG, and Nittos) are very smooth riding and long wearing tires. Of all the people on the board that have 24s have you ever heard one complain about ride quality (besides the guy that was having trouble getting his balanced..but that was not a tire issue).

Trust me I am not trying to sell anybody on 24s...I don't want them to be on every car on the road like 20s are now (btw I had 20s on a Ram back in 98 and all this same BS about ride and side wall was being said then...now 20s are the rule rather than the exception.) I was just saying there are ZERO benefits of 22s over 24s if you want big wheels and if you don't then get the cheaper 20s. But I think the OP was asking about 22s being too much for his truck....if he even things 22s might be too much then he needs to go with 20s. He if was worried they might not be big enough he needs to go with 24s. The only real reason to run 22s is that you can afford 24s....period (in a street tire application of course!) Trust me I love my "O" rings and could not be any happier with them and would with out hesitation absolutely recommend them to anybody thinking of getting a set!

 

Those are rubberbands, don't quite qualify as an O-ring.

 

ddellwo,

i think the 22s look good, but the tire selection was my hesitation when choosing between the 22s and 20s. i think that either way it'll look good, just depends on your tastes. alot of my selection came from my towing needs as well. check out my gallery if you want some ideas on what 20s look like on 285/50/20s... you might want to check out a set by foose called 'heat'... they are very similar to the AR thrusts, but in a 6 spoke those were the 22s i was looking at, but im pretty sure they make em in a 20 as well now

 

LOL ive ridden on quite alot of 24's considering I have a family member who owns a rim shop here and has ALOT of kids these days that put 24's on it and after he puts the rims on he road tests them for a few minutes and im with him most of the time.....so try again pal

 

I can think of one large benefit that I had in buying 22's over 24's - cost!! But I picked up mine used for 1500 bucks with almost new tires, so its kinda a special case. And as far as ride quality, I get that crap all the time about "those can't possibly ride good...", but I can honestly say that my 22's with 40series tires ride just as good as the stock 18's did when they had the stock BFG's on them, and they definately ride better than the 18's do now that I have 35" BFG mud terrains on them for the winter (the truck rides pretty rough with the 35's, although I do run 40psi in them just to keep the sidewalls from rolling too bad on the street). The fact is, though, I like the looks both way, lifted with big mudders, or lowered with big bling.

Oh, btw, back to the subject on hand. I think ddelwo's truck looks AWESOME with the American Racing Magnets on it. The first time I saw that truck with those wheels it made me want to go out and buy the same wheel for my truck. It is a lot of bling, but man does it look good. I think you should just leave the 22's on it.

 

Cant we just burn one and all get a long? To each is own man to each is own......

 

No!! 22's are awesome!! Get the 22's man!
