Hey, I'm gonna get some wheels and tires for my red 01 L and cant decide between 20's or 22's. Input? I'm looking at the Elite Impeller Truck Wheels.

THX!

 

20s will look better than stock, 22s will look better than 20s in my opinion, i would go for the 22s, of course it will be more $$ but it couldnt be too much more, right?

 

Why go bigger at all? With gains always come sacrifices...

 

trade me or sell me your stock wheels or if you want a set of stock wheels I'll give you mine wich are stock 2000 rims and tires and maybe a little ca$h. Thanks.

 

why settle for 20's or 22's? why not go with the biggest you can get?

as you can see, the 36" repro "wagon wheel" is the nicest they make.. and a very good value for just $128.96 each..


of course, the value minded person will most likely go with the regular 10 spoke 18" wheel for only $58.44

personally, i'm saving up for the 40's..

 

The 2000 wheels look a heck of alot better than the 2001's. That's why I'm ditchin' em' for Billet Specialties 18"x9.5" See! These wheels look weird on my truck!

 

i just put on the elite impeller 20" on my '01 red L...THEY ARE INCREDIBLE...I cant tell you how many looks I have gotten since I put them on

 

I will try to post a pic of my truck with the impellers or I can just email one to you

 

Killer!! What size and kind are the tires? Please post a pic! I am really leaning twords the 22's but really want to see yours. What did pay for them tires and all, and from where.

 

post a pic of those Impeller's.............I would like to see them or you can e-mail them tber@netnitco.net

 

I have to get my dads digital camera working so i will have some pics on tomorrow...I am gonna put a 3/4 drop so the L will settle right on top of the tires...I payed $4100 for the wheels and tires...I put on some Pirelli Scorpion Zeros that are 305/45 r 20...they have less than 1000 miles and if you are really interested I might be able to sell you mine for a lesser price...they retail for $3400 for the wheels then another $1200 for the tires...every lug nut is a tuner lug that requires a special tool to take off the rim, so nobody can steal them...a regular socket wont fit into the rim...they are in perfect condition and havent been close to a curb and I have never done a burn out on them...I just drive to school and then back to my house
e-mail me if you are interested or just want some more info on them CGAR3013@ix.netcom.com

 

Why would you want to sell them?

 

Thanks for the replies, few more questions.
I am almost sure im going with 22's although I really liked Koochie Krook's 23's.
It looks like im going to raise my od from the stock 28.5" to at least 32", which will help fill up my wheel well and raise my truck about 2". How and how much is that going to affect my handling and acceleration?
With a 32" od should i do a 1/2, 2/3, or 3/4 lowering kit? If so, how will that affect handling?
If i do a lowering kit, which is the best want to go? Shackles and hangers or leaf springs in the back? A buddie of mine says to STAY AWAY from the shakles and hangers and to do leaf springs becuase the net effect is the same and leaf springs are much easier.

I am very new to this and am really looking to you all for guidance, my goal is to have a fly looking L that retains as much of the stock ride and acceleration as possible although I know there will be some trade offs, which I'm ok with, I just want to get an idea of how much.
I am also looking for the best solution

In advance THANKS TONS!!!!!

 

With a od of 32 the most you will be able to do is a 2in shackel drop in the back. Anything more and you will be rubbing your A$$ off, I have the 3/4 kit on mine with a 29.3 OD on 22's...
