Thinking of swapping to 22's, and mooving up to the KMC Brodie. And keeping the theme, Nittos 420s tires. Looking at the Nitto 420s in a 305/40/22. On being lowered 2/3, how does everything think fitement will be, and the 22's, you all run 15 or 35mm offset?

thinking, Brodie

That Brodie looks pretty good :waytogo:

What are you going to do with your Alba's?

yea, leaning towards the Brodie.

Will sell them with the Nittos i have now, which has about 25-30% tread left, still good tire left. Was just looking to replace tires, then thought...hmmm, time for a change on wheels again...maybe??? LOL...

:lol: Good thinking :) The Alba's look to be pretty good lookin' wheels, too. When you get around to selling them be sure and post larger pics of them. I've been thinking about getting LTZ rims for mine but could be persuaded into something else if the deal was right and the wheels were to my liking :)

i like the brodie ones...dumb name but much cleaner than those busier ones with the dumber name.

but i like the 20s...22s are just too big for my liking. ur 20s would look good on our yuk. :)

Brodies would look good, that design will make the wheel seem larger too. Get the higher offset in a 285/45/22 or 275/45/22. Did you flip your rear upper shock bolts around when you installed them? That is the only fitment issue I'd be concerned with otherwise they'll fill up the wheelwells real nice.

the first ones imo. The second ones look like a off road style wheel to me for some reason.
