Ok Guys, I have decided on these:
Echelon Rolexx 22/9.5
Now what tires will look good with them? Websites suggest 305/45x22 tires.
I think I want largest profile I can do without touching suspension etc, and still good handling, able to drive in rain, and not too much road noise from them...will never be used in snow.
Tires...
Falken STZ04
Kumho ECSTAstx
Nitto NT404
Toyo ProxesST |

I talked to a couple of guys locally who said that the 22's are fine, but anything larger will F*%K up the ride?
Any ideas on this anyone?
As for the looks, simply a personal opinion. I think 22's look SWEET

you need a 325/50/22 to keep the stock diameter.
or in a mud tire a 35 12.50 22.

i guess cause their cheaper,makes package prices look better. 305/45/22 is only 32.8 inches tall.its gonna look to small.plus your speedo and odometer are gonna be outta whack.

Bingo on the price with the smaller tires,plus its the size for the "bling bling look". I have these same wheels in the 20 inch size . There is not a noticable change in ride from stock size . I did have a few say the 22 will ride much rougher .

trashguy, how do I get speedometer/odometer fixed?
what if i got the echelon rolexx 22", and 325/50/22 tires? Would speedometer/odometer be out of whack still?
it says stock tires are 315/70x17
mossinc, are the echelon rolexx good quality, or crap?

Here you can see how much the tire size will have your speedo/odo off. You can also compare different tire sizes.

I would definately not go for a smaller tire than 325/50-22 just because they will look small.
Mordak and Hummbob, you are clearly looking for some street looks. That's ok. Personally I like 22" but prefer the off road looks. Like the one below:

I have 22" rims, they don't mess up the ride at all... My tires are Falken Ziex's, they're nice, although I get some slippage in the rain. They are quieter than stock tires though.

heres a truck on ebay with smaller tires,just dosent look right,also remember our trucks are heavy ,with a smaller sidewall you can bend rims much easier,for the speedo you can get a programmer or have the dealer recalibrate it .

And 325/50x22 tires would fix this? If so, then that's what I'll get it looks like.

Oh and since my speedometer will be off by 1.254% as shown at http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit when going 60 MPH it will actually read 59.2 MPH, can the dealer adjust the odometer/speedometer to fix this? Would there be a cost or would warranty over it? |

That truck above is just plain old nasty. The dealer accidentally put 33's on mine and the truck looked like ass. They kept it until the right ones came in. I wasn't driving that ugly thing around.

KenP, I don't know anything about programmers at all...would they be easy for a 19 year old newbie to hookup and adjust them with?
How expensive are they? Maybe it would be best to just have dealer do it?
Oh and link to 1 if possible please, thanks man!
