I keep coming back and loving your setup. The main differences between ours is my stealth has far less chrome. I probably wont go white lettering, but absolutely loving the gruff that is emotes. Do you happen to have a pic with the tire at full lock?

Now, I am really antsy to get them. LOL! The 18" set up saves me $500, too ($2563 vs. $3087). Sadly, the wheels I want are on backorder. :(

Drivers side I can fit my whole hand between wheel and felt pad on the backside. Passenger side I can get a finger between the tire and the felt liner in the front of the wheel well.

I am looking at Black Rhinos with a 12 offset. Therefore, they will be very similar to yours.

I like your stance. Also give me a good idea of the look since mine it white with CCD suspension, too.

You are running tires a wee bit thinner, but taller. And you said no rubbing? Even at full lock? I am sometimes at full lock backing into a campsite.

+12’s are a little to much if you run a taller and wider tire. +18’s seem to be the sweet spot.

The tires I am considering are either taller and same width or taller and narrower.

6mm is about a 1/4 inch difference.

Still waiting on my quote back to see the difference with and without a ReadyLift install.

If I can get the full package of lift kit, tires, wheels and install for less than $3000, It is almost a done deal for a winter project, maybe early spring... well, and an anticipated large commission check. ;)

I hope it happens. They look so much better with a bigger tire. But I will say the pics above on a +12 will be rubbing. I’d dump my +12’s if I could find a wheel I like in a +18.

That’s the problem. I’m sold on this wheel that has a 12 offset.

So, do the 22's ride harsh? Even with CCD suspension?

Not necessarily harsh but the occasional trucklike misstep. Even the 20s on base suspension is a bit stiff at times. The smaller wheels on ccd would help mitigate those sometimes harsh impacts more though.

I had the 22s and honestly even with the 18s there isnt much of a difference but that might just be from running a load E tire so probably just as stiff of a setup but I wouldn't call either a harsh ride nothing close to what my ram 2500 rode like.

Smaller wheel would likely provide smaller moment of inertia and improve mpg and maybe acceleration. Can't speak to ride quality, as I have only towed with the 20s. I think they provide a decent balance between handling and comfort with proper inflation. But I'm debating moving to load range E to reduce squirm while towing. The other reason I like the 20s is they have enough sidewall to avoid curb rash.


This exactly! I have the 22's and can't even look at a curb without a rash forming.
