I, personally, would leave the 22s on there. The larger rim in back doesn't look quite right on trucks to me. . . But that's just me.

well if you get 24's for the back im might be inclined to buy your left over ones and get two more... :D all joking aside I really like the staggered look on our trucks...gives it a muscle car or hot rod feel to me. go for it!

If you go staggered then you can't rotate them. I think it looks good the way it is. But it might look good also if you go with 24".

Ditto. By the way, I was reading the new super chevy mag, and the cover car has the same wheels as you do. Pretty cool huh

Either go all 22's, or all 24's. It looks like its leaning back , or has a lot of weight in the back if you mix the 2.

he's right it does look like its leaning back. plus if you stay with the 22's you'll have alittle extra side wall for more traction.

im confused...thats Bryans truck at Intro (you already know that) but hes running 22's all the way around. Hes got 22x8.5 in the front with 22x10 in the rear. The front tires are 265/35/22 and the rear is a massive 305/35/22. If you want that look just get the rear wheels rehooped to 10" and and get some 305/35/22' tires.

edit: hes leaning back because the rear lays out and the front doest (he didnt tub the fire wall, so it sits a little higher in the front.

im not a fullsize guru but to lay out im almost positive (95%) you dont need to tub the firewall, only a bodydrop intails doing that. he's prolly not laying out because of the inner fenders or maybe soemthing suspension wise is not allowing him to lay frame. and yes they are 22s front and back on that truck

tubbing the firewall is a must on a NBS if you want to lay out on 22's

the front doesn't have tubs either. that pic of his truck is 22x8.5's up front and 24x10's in the back. he just put the 24's on

ok well he may have gotten 24's for the rear of his truck but there is no way those are 24's in the rear in that picture.
Heres the pic on the intro site:
http://introwheels.com/gallery/album11/picture_011_sized they have the wheel size listed as 22's.

Hey dropped, I think you should put the 24's, I agree with 04fullsize about the hotrod look. Plus if it's not a full time driving truck then you don't have to worry so much about rotating.

This is the judge in me talking.If you plan on showing it in a reputable show. you need to know they'll count off your score for going too big.It breaks up the looks and takes the judges eyes away from any detail so the look harder and start nit picking everything.
youv'e got photoshop right? try this. start with a 17 and keep upsizeing till you lose the roundness of your wheel wells. actually if go down a couple of sizes from you have now It'll pull everything together better so people will see the truck and not just the wheels.

are you saying it would look better with a smaller wheel :confused: ? 22's look perfect on a NBS Fullsize, 20's look just right to me when the truck is body dropped, but other than that 22's look right at home in the wheel wells of a fullsize.

the best way to tell is to enter in a good show and get the scoring sheet after it's done. It should have a list of things the judes thought was good and the things they didn't like.

Not really a fan of the maroon paint, i think that if i had a silver truck and i wanted to add some more color to it i would do something along these lines...
