Downgrade:26's To 22's And I Love It!!!

I never would have thought i'd rather have 22's but the ride is like factory and i won't ever put bigger wheels on again unless it's for show...

Tell me what ya'll think...

the 26's look killer but if they are negatively effecting the ride dont put them on. The 22's look good but imho there is too much tire for a street truck. Obviously the thicker sidewall allows for a smoother ride but maybe a lil less sidewall would do the trick. Both look really nice though.

There's not enough tire on the 26" wheels. Go with the 22s.

After seeing your truck with the 26s for so long, the 22s look weird.
26 fill the wheel wells nicely and look awesome, but i bet they ride like a covered wagon.

22s do the job of riding nicely and still look good.

(psss. wanna lend me those 26s?) haha

26" 100%
those 22" have way too much tire and make it look..... not nice.....

Im sure the 26" felt hard though. But they look alot better !

I just dropped the 24"s on from the stock 18's

Now with the 18's the ride was very comfortable, before putting the 24" i tried my brothers Harley Edition with the 22" and the ride was good.

I went with 24" thinking it would be harder than his 22" and they are not.

The stock Option of the 22" on the Harley Edtion Ride exactly like my 24" Rims with 305/35/24 Khumo Tires

there is definately a difference from 18-24 but from the 22 stock on the Harley and Mine no difference at all in Ride !!!!

Those 22"s are too small and have too much tire !


And note, i live in Brooklyn where there are Pot Holes All Over !!!!!

the tires on the 22's are 305/45/22 but I think I am gonna put the 26's back on, only thing is I'm gonna have to buy one more tire for my 6's cause one of 'em only has about 40% left and if you know 26's-the tires($$$$) ain't no joke!!!
