24 inch rim ride?

So i have a set of 20 inch XD Rockstars in black on BFG 285/55 A/T's and i'm looking at getting a set of 24's for some summer wheels and tires. First things first what are you opinions on this rim, I will be running it with a 305/35/R24 BFG G-Force KDW2 tire. And second how will i suffer ride comfort wise? Will i gain any handling performance?

Nevermind the sizes on the side....I already talked to the manufacturer and they make this rim in a 24 inch with the right bolt pattern.

A 35 series tire is going to ride pretty rough. You might gain some handling because of the shorter, stiffer sidewall, but you will also probably lose some performance because the truck has to turn heavier wheels.

i wouldnt go with a 24" wheel unless i put a 37" mud terrain tire. if you have a/t's now you wont be happy with a street tire. it changes the look dramaticly! just my 2 cents

Its not the look i'm worried about changing. I wouldn't mind one day having a street truck and then next having a more aggressive looking tire and wheel combination on there too, and i know larger rims and smaller sidewalls equate to poorer comfort but they also add handling performance and i'm curious if the benefits of the killer looks and better handling of 24's will offset the slightly rougher ride.

i went from the stock 18"s and a very comfy ride to the 24x10 i have now with 305/35/34 khumo's

The difference from 18" to 24" is noticable.

The difference from my 06 Harley with the Stock 22"s and my 07 with the 24"s are ZERO...

There is no difference in comfort from the 22"s that come stock on the Harley and the 24"s with the 305/35/24 tire.

I find the ride still very comfortable !!!! Noticable from 18"s but not at all from the 22"s
