22's or 20's

I'm debating to get a set of 22's or a set of 20" lightning replica's. Question is, I'm dropping the truck probably 3/4 drop, and I have no clue what the truck would look like with 22's or 20's. Does anyone have anything close to what my truck might look like? As I told previous members, I don't want my truck to look gangster, I just want it to look clean. I also want the wheel well to look full, not empty like it does now, so maybe 2inches above the tire would look good.

Without a doubt go with 22's. When debating rim size, always go with the larger. That way you won't be wasting money in 6 to 8 months when you are selling a set of wheels to get a larger set. That is what you will be doing if you settle for 20's.

Without a doubt go with 22's! When i was getting 22's i was worried they would look to big also, and now that i have them, next time i will be going with 24's without a doubt. Always go bigger or you will regret it.

IMO, with that 3/4 drop I'd go with 20s. I've never seen an OBS with 22s that I liked, again just my opinion.

Here's my 06 Lariat with 20s (and I've got a great set of Foose 20" wheels for sale cheap too!)
I'd agree with others, if you're gonna lower I'd go 20s...
