Just the fact that you are considering 24's means you should get them if at all possible. If you "settle" with 22's, you will regret it shortly. I was in the ame boat with 20's vs. 22's. I'm so glad I didn't settle for 20's.

well i want 24's due to the fact its bout the biggest rims besides like 26's or 28's but they are wayy too much money lol
but main reason i want 24's is bc i have a 2wd f150 king ranch supercrew and plan on putting a leveling kit on it and 24s would fit perfect and look good if u ask me
and the only other thing i am considering is black or chrome i think chrome stands out way more
and not many people can say i have 24's on my car u kno

I hope you plan on using a set of lowering shackles to level it.

I would do lowering shackles. In my opinion, I think it will look better lower in the back, than higher in the front. It will help eliminate the gaps in between the tire and the fender.

Just my .02 cents.

well what would be the best drop setup
the only thing with the front leveling kit is it would sit up somewhat and i kinda want a little bit of height and clearance and i hate being in a car at a low level specially at night when peoples lights are in your eyes

Do you plan on doing any towing? If so, how much weight you plan on towing with 24s??
