20 vs 22

ok i know the wheels i want. but the porblem is i cant make up my mind on the size. i really dont want to add a lot of weight, i dont want to hurt my braking or handling. the boss 330's in 20in only weight like 30Ibs a wheel which i believe is close to what the stock 18's weigh. i dont know i guess i just need some help deciding. thanks

I don't know anything about your truck, but what look are you going for?

do the wheels show a lot of the brakes?
if they do, 22's would make them look even smaller.
BUT, that's the perfect reason to get a big brake kit too...

I have 22's on my 07 Screw with 305/45's and it handles and performs better than my stock 255/70-17's. Braking isn't an issue either, these are big heavy trucks, the braking system is built for them.

Go with the 22's. The Boss 330 is a great looking wheel. I had them in 22" and now 24". I think the 20's will look too small.

22's almost look too small on these trucks.

305/40/22 or 305/45/22. I see that you have an FX4 so I would go with a 305/45. Toyo also makes a AT tire in a 305/45 and 305/50/22.

Price the tires in both sizes and see if that doesn't help your decision.

The price difference isn't that much. Right at $100
