Hey guys, was time to get rid of the 22's that came with it. Being the wife's car and all, I didn't want the bling, and it needed tires soon. So I found a new set of factory take off wheels and tires for a great price, I couldn't pass them up. Went from a 305/40/22 to a 275/55/20. The ride is so much better, and should tow my boat better too. The wheels are from a 2014 f150.

Those 22s were horrible.

I'm looking to get rid of my nasty 18s that someone thought were a good idea. The tires are good so I'm looking to stick with the 18" tire.

The bigger wheels are fine for looks and perfectly paved streets, but the ride quality is poor. Enjoy the new wheels.

my ride quality actually improved when I put 24s on my truck...everyone said it would ride rough...everyone is always in awe how smooth my ride is and my truck has 26 inch rims and dropped 2"....so I highly disagree that becuz someone has plus size rims that the ride quality goes out the window...my handling is improved with the wider wheel plus the anti-sway bar kit

tire-easy.com...I can get 24s for $125 and 26s for $150...top name brands

I don't see any 26" tires in your 305/30R26s for under 150 on the site you provided? I see some cheap no name brand tires for 186 each plus shipping. Pirelli's are 383 each plus shipping.

I bought my current rims off ebay...$1800 mounted and balanced from NY to my door...they would've cost me $3600 otherwise...I buy from companies that have SUPER high ratings and satisfaction rating isn't below 95%...they have to have at least 20K star ratings for big purchase like that with 99...maybe 98 satisfaction rating...and I call them...if I cant call them then I don't do business...I ask for their number...lol

Looks good, man! I saw a set of rims similar to those off of a 15' 150 here locally for $1200on CL. I managed to pick up a set of 18's from an 09' 150 with tires around 80% tread for $200. Just had to have them remounted and balanced to swap in the tpms. They're not as fancy as 20's but the price couldn't be beat.

Those new wheels look really nice. Changes the whole look of the vehicle.
