Pros and Cons of 20" versus 22" wheels
 

Guys,
Need some advice, I really like the look of the KMC XD Monster wheels but I am confused on wheel sizes and the impact on handling, braking, chassis rubbing etc based on wheel selection. Do I go 20x9 or 22 x10 - I have searched the forums and I see some folks have the 22x10?s KMC XD monsters and wanted to get some feedback.

My only criteria is that I really don?t want to modify my H2 and would like to impact handling as little as possible.

hi i have the kmc rockstars i love the look i have 20 x 10 with 37 inch muddgrapplers. they handle nice .. but they do affect breaking distance and acceleration quite a bit. i would think the 22 's would be even worse.. so i would stay with the 20 's or smaller. unless you dont mind those problems. but whatever you chose they will look nice . good choice.

How much lift do you have on that rig? Also, where did you get those and at what price? I was looking at the same wheel. Also, any issues with wheeling scratching them up? And...last one...is it a flat black or is there a clear caot and a shine to them. Seems like they would be easy to scratch since the rim flushes at the center. Thanks in advance bro....VERY NICE LOOKING TRUCK...btw.:beerchug:

im putting these rims on my h2 aswell, i was wondering if the grapplers was the only option you could go with because on 4 wheel parts thats the only tire it brings up fo that size

Tried the Toyo's?

thanks ! i have a 6 inch fabtech lift , for the wheels i had to wait for a couple months to get them instock.. but ive seen them other places lately.. i got them at 4 wheelparts.com http://www.4wheelparts.com/PPT4727T100106.aspx and got a really good deal.. i think i paid alittle under 1,000. bucks shipped for the wheels and lug nuts. thats for the 20 x 10 . no i havent had any scratching at all.. i take the center part off for wheeling. the star part you can take off easy so that helps. they are flat black. i really like the way they turned out . yeah i though about trying the toyo also.. i figured id try the mudd grapplers frist. i really like them

Thanks for the pics bro. Do you have any that are closer up to the wheels? Just curious...thanks man....Jamie

Sorry for the thread jack,

Question, would a 4 inch suspension lift H2 look funny with the stock rims and tires?

Anybody have any pics of that configuration?

Thanks much

thought Id post here since your gettin some answers to your questions, I have 20s and 37 inch muds and also have a set of stockers I was thinking of trying out, but wanted too see a pic before I applied the labor.

Re: Pros and Cons of 20" versus 22" wheels
 

I have the four inch lift, Mojave 17" rims and stock tires. Thought I would try it out. The wife said it looked funny with the small tires.:beerchug:

I will probably go to 37" once I get a little more tread wear on the stock tires.

Re: Pros and Cons of 20" versus 22" wheels
 

Got a Pic?

If the wife says it looks funny, it probably does:beerchug:

You know how women can judge SIZE :grouphug:

Post a pic if you can, would love too see it.

Sorry if anybody takes this as a jack, Im not trying too jack anyone here, just thought it would fit here.

Thanks kindly

MAN! Its really hard to decide between the KMC Rockstars and the American Eagle Racing Mojave. Either one will def be 20" I do like both though and I like the fact that neither show the rotor and brakes that much (I don't care that much for the wide open look). Thanks for the pics. Let me know what you think....Jamie

Re: Pros and Cons of 20" versus 22" wheels
 

Reason I have been asking is due to having a bad experience with a set of Rockstar's I ordered and got. I was trying to get the people to make it right...today they finally did. So I guess I am stuck with my order and no sending them back for the Mojave's. All in all it worked out...in case anyone cares.:)

Re: Pros and Cons of 20" versus 22" wheels
 

What did you decide? On our first H2 I had 20" Lexani's with 35/12.50-20 Nitto Mud Grapplers. Looked hot but they set must have weighed a ton as I had a couple near death experiences braking on the highway. Upsrung weight is our enemy. I run 18" DRIV's now on 35/12.50-18's and they drive and brake like the stock setup.

Not to confuse the issue I am looking at 22" Welds but then Welds weight a lot less.

I really like your H2, but the spare really needs to match.:o :)

Re: Pros and Cons of 20" versus 22" wheels
