Those Rollin' on 22's.. questions..
 
I got some engine mods, so im not classified as stock, but how bad will the larger wheels (diameter + weight) effect overall handeling, performance, and braking?? :confused:

Guess the gas milage suffers, but it can't get much worse then now, so who cares, lol!

And i guess another question would be, what size rubber?? 305?

Thanks guys!

You would actually get better gas milage wouldn't you?...

If you were to go with a 305 your speedo would have to be recal. I have 295/30/22, and I am a 1/2 bigger over all, than a stock tire. I feel my truck hooks up better with these wheels. It would just fry the 18's. I went 13.66 on 20's with 2.0 60ft. STOCK. I never got a chance to compare 20's to 22's with my mods.

Dunlop 285-30-22 on mine , just a little bigger than stock.
The speedo shows 1 mile more than with stock wheels.

Handeling is much better and the looks 2 !

Gas milage about the same , maybe a little more now !

Swede, I sent you an e-mail about your wheels. No response yet.

I want to know how much they were and where you got them.

Thanks,

gas mileage is same, handling is a LOT better, and traction is so so.
