Which is better and for what. Im modding my truck for street and i know 22's r good for looks but what about performance, will the 20's be better?

 

i am running roush 22's and truck handles amazing

 

I would think you would have better performance with the 20's vs. the 22's. You'll be pulling less revs per mile. Other then that I think it's just an appearance preference.

 

I'd level off the back and put 22's or 24's.

 

22's weigh more than 20's typically. The rotational mass is what hurts performance. Regardless of wheel diameter, it's the overall diameter of the tire that affects performance by altering the gear ratio of the truck. 22's look better though, these trucks dwarf 20's.

 

if i were going with the street look, i would definitely go 24's

20's are way too small

 

is it pretty expensive to level of the back?

 

is it a 4x4?...if it is you can go the cheaper route and remove the factory 4x4 block in the rear...free of cost if u can do it urself......otherwise get some drop shackles cost u around 70-80$ for the shackles and if u can install them they are pretty simple then its free otherwise i wouldnt say more then 1 hour of labor but im not sure bout the labor part again

 

no its 2wd rear.

 

I know everyone has a different style. I'm 25 so I like the look of the bigger wheels. Even with a 24" you can level off the back and put a pretty decent size tire. Probably around a 305. With a programmer the truck would still perform great. With a 22" you'll definatly be able to put a tire with alot of meat to it. Even the Roush trucks have a alot to the tire and they come with 23's.

 

So if I level it off in the back with 22's and a tire with "alot of meat" lol i thought that was pretty funny, is it gonna sit good or do you think that it will still sit to high above the tire. I mean I dont want a low rider I just want it to look flush. ps i wasnt makin fun of you and the help is appreciated

 

go to my album, i have 22" with 2" rear drop..... love it, rides fine.... i have 305/40..... wheels are for sale also...

 

that looks perfect, do you like your exhaust?

 

yes ,best thing i did... it a 14" si/do magnaflow....very deep sound...will give you great deal on wheels and tires if interested.... got any pics of your truck?

 

Well right now I just share a stock 05 stx fx4 with my dad but im buying an 05 singlecab stx 2wd this summer that i will mod so no pictures till then. but i was looking at that same exhaust is why i asked, i know im going to do all black accessories: lights, grille, rims, tint, badges, everything, but idk what color truck i want yet
