Looking in to buy a set of 22s in the next month. was wondering if anybody could help me with tire size right now i got 265/70/17s what size tire should i be looking for? my Expy is a 98 XLT if that helps. Another question people tell me 22s will mess up my suspension should i be concerned if im only using them for summer months?

22's wont mess up your suspension! (there just hating) you will actually feel better cornering and general handling, (the reason i dont switch back and fourth any more) now for tire size it depends on what kind of rim your using, if its off road i cant help you there but if you are looking for some street rims usually its 305/40/22 if you get a 22x10 rim
thanks alot man the suspension answer is what i was looking for "theyre just hatin". lol the rims i been looking at are 22/9.5 will that make much of a difference. I kinda have to swich back and forth i live in northern MN road salt is horrible here

wont make a difference...also check into upgrading the anti-sway bars as soon as you can...improves handling

Not to hijack the thread too much, but the big question that I have rolling around in my melon is this: Is TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) compatibility across custom wheel manufacturers a concern?
I was thinking about custom rims, but gone seem to be the days when you could just run to a wheel shop and get them changed. Now I have to think about TPMS sensors, can the OEM ones be used (or do you need to plunk down more $ for replacement sensors). Or, throw on top of that having the need to re-calibrate the TPMS sensors you have for new tire pressures.
Oh, where have the simple days gone!

interceptor-i never changed mine over because from what ive read you have to buy new bands to accomidate the factory sensors and im not sure there is a need to re-calibrate them. the bands go for around 200-300 for all 4 last time i checked so i didnt think it was worth it overall. im getting new tires at the end of the month so i can give you a firm yay or nay on how much and how easy.
randel-with 22x9.5 id go 295/45/22 or 295/40/22 for a slimmer tire, if you have a say in it you should go 22x10 tires are going to be way cheaper as this is a more common size and if you live in the north then you should prob change your rims out with the season. dont let the haters hate get your shine on
