Both are too small, go with 42's if you're gonna have 14" of lift. If you want 40's go with a 12" lift. 38's, go with 10". Some BFG KM2's in 42x14.5 on a 20" wheel would look great BTW how old are you?

Id try looking what companies make tires in those sizes to fit that size rim. Last time i looked toyo MT's in a 38 did not even come in a 22" rim size... Kumho makes a 37 that fits 22's. Ive never looked for anything to fit a 24" rim, but you might have some tough luck. Whats wrong with 22's? there is probably a better shot at those sizes id think....

Nothing wrong with a 22, i just want the unique look, you know. Somthing that looks sweet that not very many people have.

only off road tires I know that fit 24s are:

kumho KL71 38X14R24S and 37X14R24

and

Toyo M/t 37X13.5R24

Heres a pic of a superduty on 24s and 38inch kumhos


I think it looks sick and think that if you can afford it then you should go for it, but most people on this site frown upon anything bigger then 20s for some reason

You think 38s on 24s would look ok on a 14'' lift?

Wonder why... when a huge lifted truck has a sidewall that's smaller then what's found on any sports car it loudly and proudly states you have more money then brains . Although, I agree with you when you say it looks sick

Also, according to toyo's website 5 seconds ago neither their all terrain or mud terrain come in any 24" tire sizes

Go big, break and don't make it home and yeah 38's would look small on 14" of lift. Here is a saying "do it right or go home"

No. Ill go ahead and ask whats the need for 14" of lift? to be unique, i got that one. With that small of a selection of tires id consider a 12" lift, still plenty big and unique, but will keep your truck proportional if you are set on 24's as your rim size. If you are set on 14" of lift look at sammystud's truck. I beleive he has between 12-14" of lift with 22's wrapped in 40's. Its massive and looks very good. Im hoping youv got plenty of money saved as well cause 24's will be $$$$ so will the tires to wrap them. Dont get me wrong i like the look of big rims on a lifted truck, but to me proportionality is key in being unique and looking good. Im not saying anything is cheap in a 37-42" tire size but you will be paying way more for less tire

IMO 38s on 14" of lift would make the tires looks too small, perhaps 10"?

Look harder man. They make it

And the whole size of the side wall just comes down personal opinion. Aesthetics over functionality.

I have pretty strong opinions on this, so dont take offense.

24s = stupid. Personally, i think anything bigger than 18s = stupid. I would have gotten 17s myself but i couldn't fit anything smaller than 18s due to the brake calipers on my 04.

A 14" lift on a IFS suspension = stupid. 40"+ tires on IFS = stupid. Not practical, not very functional, your truck will be a slow, gas guzzling slug and wont even be that great offroad (stuff will break all the time, no power etc). Anything more than 8" of lift on these half ton trucks just isn't practical to me.

Lastly, Toyo MTs = stupid. They are super expensive, super heavy, made of heavy compound and dont perform too well in mud, yet everybody has them. Why? Because they last forever on the pavement. Says a lot about how you use your lifted, tough looking truck.

Right now, the truck you describe building sounds to me like the ultimate "BRO-mobile"
