Who's got 22's?
I have an 06' Silver XLT Supercrew and my next mod is rims and tires. I don't plan on lowering it at all so I was thinking 22's might take up more space in the wheel wells than 20's. Any takes on this? I don't want nothing to "bling bling" just nice clean looking wheels. So where should I start and what size tire would suite this setup? Thanks for any info and pics would be greatly appreciated!
Also will I notice the added weight of the rims as far as accelerating and stopping goes?

I picked the eagle 026 rims because they were sharp, classic looking without being too "bling".
These are 22s on my 4x4 without lowering or a leveling kit. I put 305/45/22 rubber which gives an extra .5 inch of rubber all the way around the rim. Since it's larger then stock, you'll have to have the PCM updated with the new tire size. Talk nicely to the dealer and they might do it for free like mine did.
Unless you're doing a lift with huge tires, I think 20s look too small in these huge wheel wells. I get tons of compliments and I'm SO glad I didn't do 20s. I think I still have plenty of rubber around the rims to prevent the "street" look.

I just said that I bought and installed new tires and rims that were a larger diameter. I was talking with the Service manager at the time. I then asked if he knew of somewhere I could go that would change the tire setting in the PCM to account for the larger diameter tires. He said they'd take care of it for me.
It's some setting I believe is called RPM or something like that.

There are local speed-o-meter shops that will change it for less than $50. I just used this as an excuse to buy the Xcal2 though because I have to change it twice a year for the winter tires and rims.
