22's on a 99 XLT

[shagr15]

Hey Guys,

Found these on Craigslist and wanted to ask if they would fit on my 99 XLT. It is stock height so I was wondering if I can fit them without adding a lift or anything. Thanks guys!

If the overall height is not over 31" they may.
Depends on offset also.

I would make sure you really want those before buying them. They might look cool, but your ride quality is going to go down dramatically. With SUVs and trucks, so much of the ride quality is dependant on those big sidewalls. Your acceleration will be slower and it will take longer to brake. You also need to be aware that the wheels will be damaged much more easily by any impacts. The weight of the wheels may also lead to premature wear on suspension and axle components.

That said, many of the same things apply to those of us that run massive meats. So, if you like 'em and the backspacing is good, heck, get 'em. For what your truck is set up for, they'd look nice.

Edit: Oh, by the way, as long as your backspacing is good, you won't have any problem with the tire size. They're 27.3x8.9 so they're smaller than stock.
