What do i need to go to get her ready for 24's?

Right now she is a factory 2wd, that does need some suspension work done anyway. I would Love to go w sixes, but they are big $$$$


Would the process be the same for 26's?

im pretty sure 24s will bolt right up without anything being done, but i could be very wrong, i got 26s on mine with no problems at all, check craigslist and you probably can find some 6s for a good price, probably cheaper than the 4s if u buying brand new, and the only way i could think of that would allow 6 lugs is if you could put 6 lug hubs on your ride

It does need suspension work, the prev owner had 22's ono it, and they scraped up the inner wheelweel, and i forgot to mention, i plan to have about 700 lbs of stereo equipment in the back.

I had my craigslist rim buying expierence, I suppose i can give it another try, but i'll make sure to meet the seller at a rim shop instead of a parking lot & night.

I stupidly bought a cracked rim, and 2 flat tires.

Garbage.

The 22s might have scraped because of the offset (or backspacing, I forget which is which). You can find some good deals on craigslist but you can also get ripped off. I have found some sweet ass deals but I have also been ripped off also

Yeah you gotta watch out for craigslist there's so many crooks. Just make sure you do your research and don't let him rush you, and if anything seems fishy just don't buy. I bought my 22's off craigslist for $550 and they were awesome, only bad thing is the tires were a little old. Sold them a year later with 2 bald tires for $750.

If you're going 24s no work to the suspension will need to be done afaik. If you go 6s (which can be had for $1000-1200 used on cl) then you MIGHT need to crank your torsion bars. But that's the awesome thing about our cars, the front is adjustable.

I'm most likely gonna do a 2/3 or 2/4 drop to with 24's. I've been talking with Norcal SS & he knows his sh*t. With this upgrade I'm most likely gonna change out my brake system too! Damn I feel broke already! Good luck with that Mild.
