We ride on 22's
 
this is for all the members who have 22's tucked under their chevy/gmc trucks. please post up your pics and list your tire/wheel size combo with back spacing and tire specs to help the rest of us shop for new 22's to put on our projects. Thanks!

Very nice trucks in here. Does anyone have any pics of static dropped rides on 22s

quite curious if anybody with 22 rims has taken a long distance hiway trip like 500 miles or more per day at speed

Cdowns, I have 245/40/20 on my burban with a 4-bar and coil overs. I drive it every chance I get. It's the family rig. 10 hours to Orlando fla then to south beach. It's been to Nashville 7 hours. As soon as I get some money together it will get 22's

Wow, Lou! I watched you on many shows, including Recent ones like Car Warriors and Car Fix. When you guys were working on that box C10, it was good to see you guys getting the work done. Any chance you will have some more?

PS, I have a car that you can "steal" to do a makeover on...lol. Maybe the BMW 540i...

Everyone's trucks look amazing! Are you all running drop members? Or custom setup?

Matt, are you going lower?

Cliff I have taken many long distance trips on 22's. I have 22's on my wifes Denali that she drives daily. If your concerned about comfort or safety what you need to factor in is sidewall profile.

If your running a super low profile sidewall, it will be firm no matter what the rim size. I see kids in import cars running 25 series tires on 17" and 18" rims. You just know that rides rough, but they feel it looks cool and are willing to ignore the ride.

Yeah this was a 3/4 drop, it's going down another 2-3 inches or so. I'll have to see how low it goes and posibly adjust. I had to take the spacer out of the front to get the wheel and tire to tuck inside the fender. The truck has to be practical enough to drive. I've had a truck that was too low and couldnt hardly drive, not going down that road again.

How much is your truck lowered?
It looks good in silver/brushed face. If they were all chrome, I think it would be too much.

I agree, that is a beautiful truck! Is that a 4/6 drop?

Thanks! yeah, I didn't want to go all polished-a bit too blingy. I was a bit nervous about how it would turn out but the brushed spokes with the polished lip tones it down nicely.

I appreciate the compliment! Yes, it's a basic 4/6 drop with ECE components. It's 'everyday' practical but lowered enough to drive 'spiritedly':lol:

Re: We ride on 22's
 
Next question mac808 for the super clean ride...what's specs on the wheels and tires? That stance is perfect! Do they ever rub?

bcutt 05-22-2012 07:58 PM

Re: We ride on 22's
 
X2 im curious as well.. you nailed the stance!

Appreciate the compliments. :) As for the wheel specs, they're Boyd's Spectrums - 22x8.5 front/22x10 rear.
As for rubbing, nope, none at all except for the front on extreme dips in the road. It has to be a fully compressed hit for it to touch, though. There's virtually no camber at all on the front so a slight bit of negative camber would take care of that issue, as well as enhance the handling a bit.

mac808 05-23-2012 03:45 AM

Re: We ride on 22's
 
Oops, forgot the tire specs. Nitto 555's with 265/40/22 front and 285/35/22 rear.
