Went rim shopping today......

[chevyboy23]

Went rim shopping to today.....I'm thinking black rims. Saw a set of Tuff T01's full black with chrome inserts. I notice a lot people doing big rims and rubberband tires. I like it but I'm leaning a little bit more towards some meatier tires and rim size no bigger than 20's. *sigh* decisions decisions....... any suggestions from my well rounded comrades?

If you don't want big get 22 with meaty tires good mix

 

[LuSe4]

20's are a good size in my opinion and they leave you lots of choices for a meaty tire. Are you thinking an all-terrain style tire?

 

[chevyboy23]

Yes....I definitely am thinking about an AT tire. It's something about all that tread on a nice set off rims.

You going for a offroad look?

Then 20's, cheaper tires and plenty of selection.

Street look get 22's.

Also, there is no such thing as a Light Truck 22 inch tire. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Id get like 18s or 17s and get some nice meaty tires

 

[chevyboy23]

Man, this is getting expensive. But oh well. I thought about 22's. chrome is a second option......really want some mean looking black rims. Felix I see ya.....AT tires just look more truckish to me.

 

[OHSIXX]

On A NNBS-22's are the perfect size regardless of tire type IMO. Look at Felix's AvvY for example

 

[felixgun]

Yea AT's are def smoother and quieter.. I think I just like the more aggressive tire tread on MT's for some reason.

Here's a comparison pic for ya...

22's on 33X12.50R22 Toyo Open Country MT's:

20's on 305/50R20 Nitto Terra Grappler AT's:

 

[chevyboy23]

Not knocking 22's.....but IMO I just want to within the size that the factory would issue. Like the LTZ's come with 20's so.......I would go with 20s. But then again I also said that I wouldn't put rims on my truck either and look at me now.......

 

[felixgun]

My 22's are factory replica's... GM -does- issue this exact wheel (except OEM not replica) on many rides They are an option from the dealer when buying a new GMT900 vehicle. But regardless, 20's or 22's will both look good on your truck. My avalanche is an LTZ so it came with the 20's I posted above but I wanted chrome instead of polished so I switched rims.

 

[MACHO]

Looks so good Felix!!!! Decisions decisions chevyboy!

I just bought 22s and will be putting them before the end of the week. Switching from the factory 20s on a Denali. I imagine that the ride will not be too compromised as the factory does offer 22s as well, as felixgun stated.

20s started to look a bit too small after browsing this forum for a couple of weeks...

The power of subliminal peer pressure lol!!!

Yeah, like Felix said, GM 22"s are a factory option (see my sig), so there goes that lame-o oem nonsense excuse.

 

[Goodinblack]

KMeloney.......Your truck is done RIGHT.

 

[chevyboy23]

Well I stand corrected. Didn't know.....lol

 

[Goodinblack]

I runs 20's with no shame. Do I wish I bought 22's? Sometimes .....yes.
