Thoughts on 22/24 Setups? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yay Or Nay?

I was wondering what everyone thought about a 22/24 staggered wheel set up. Was thinking about it, and since I found an extremely wide 24 tire, I thought it would be cool.. The truck would be bagged and sitting level.

I think it would be sick! If you can swing it, I say do it!

This is what im thinking, 22x10s up front (I already have them, I originally ordered them for the rear of the truck) and a 24x14 in the rear, with a 405/25/24 tire. Now to lay frame I would need to basically back halve the truck. So I just sent Art Morrison asking about this, they are local and I could save on the shipping costs.

The truck would have all the stock trim and everything except bagged with 22s and 24s.. I need to think hard about this because I cant just return a 24x14 wheel LoL

**lolife99** · 01-14-2011, 03:18 PM

I think the 10's up front are going to be hard to fit inside the fenders, without the correct backspacing.
The rear will look sweet, with a 24x14,... but it will need to lay flat on the ground, to pull it off.
What's wrong with 22x8.5's and 22x10's?

wpotter · 01-14-2011, 03:23 PM

If we are talking about the blue truck in your avatar I say say don't do it. Call me old fashion but I think it looks great the way it is. Looks like a real clean truck that I wouldn't be cutting up. But thats just me, I am sure it will great however you decide to do it.

muthstryker · 01-14-2011, 03:24 PM

Nothings wrong with 22s all around, was just thinking a 24x14 would be badass out back. My 22x10s have a 5" backspace, and i know the porterbuilt drop member pulls the wheels in like 1.25 inches on each side, I think the 10" wide would work..

Ya same truck, I wasnt satisfied with the look and thought I could do better. It looked great, dont get me wrong. I just feel I can do better. (Im a perfectionist) And this isnt something im doing for sure, just throwing around the idea.

-CRUISER- · 01-14-2011, 03:41 PM

here's Brown Bag on 22's and 24's and body dropped ...

The width in the front might give you a bit of a problem, but that just might mean cutting! Hope you do it !

**N2TRUX** · 01-14-2011, 04:42 PM

My opinion is dont do staggered sizes. I dont think it works well on these trucks. Run the same size front and rear and stagger tire size instead

Does anyone have any more pics of brown bag? I cant find that many..

I agree to a point, I think they look better with staggered sizes when they are laid out, but if they are not bagged it looks funny.

muthstryker · 01-14-2011, 06:45 PM

Decisions, Decisions....

wpotter · 01-14-2011, 07:40 PM

I've come up with a decision for you. You can sell me your truck the way it is and start over on a project truck. Just a thought, hope I could help.

muthstryker · 01-14-2011, 08:14 PM

Haha id take you up on your offer but the wheels on the truck in the picture were sold to have some 22s made.

**N2TRUX** · 01-14-2011, 08:52 PM

Valid point. They do look good laid, but thats it. Once you take it to ride height that goes aeaway. I'm not trying to be negative, but I think 24's are a but much too. Do 22x12 out back and call it good.

Ya ive started having second thoughts, I was thinking about a 22x12 but very limited on what I can run as far as a tire, I would like to have a tire thats taller then 28"s and all the 335 tires that I see are like 26inches tall..

**lolife99** · 01-14-2011, 09:27 PM

What brand of 22's did you order?
Or is that a secret for now?

I like your idea of 22's, stock trim, and dropmembers.

Haha no its not a secret, they are Rushforth Wheels. Local guy here in Washington that started out doing renderings for people and about 2-3 yrs ago started designing his own wheels.

Here are the wheels on a Chevelle, Same finish too. They are Called "Rushforth Concept I's"

And a close up of the detail...

**lolife99** · 01-14-2011, 10:37 PM

I know those wheels.
Excellent choice.
They will be perfect on your truck.

brad2 · 01-14-2011, 11:48 PM

Here are two examples. They look good in these pics but I would like to see them at ride height.

Really? What Month? Im a subscriber..

HanSoloWS6 · 01-15-2011, 01:37 AM

I'm thinking about this set-up on my truck too. I think it looks great laid out, but I have yet to see them at ride height. I don't think it would look too bad though.

85silverbeast · 01-15-2011, 01:49 AM

It looks ridiculous when the lip on a 24x14 rim is so huge you cant see the actual wheel maybe with a not so aggressive backspace it would look decent.
