22s with BL

[Silverblade]

I saw a Fullsize truck on the cover of a sport trucks magazine a little while ago that had i think 38s...and 24s...

All show, no go.

DroppedKamelion do you just start threads that you know will piss people off?

 

[DroppedKamelion]

no i start threads because i have real questions. anyone who would get pissed off at me asking if my freinds eddie bauer could fit 22s with bigger tires with a lift is a moron anyway

Seriously man, how many trucks do you see that are lifted in order to fit big rims. Almost none, and there's a reason for that. Sure you'll find some of those vehicles on the "bad" side of town, but it's certainly not something that is popular, or that would get you positive opinions.

i think its time i let out my pet peeve.... every time i go to nyc i see explorer (and other SUVs) on 20s, 22s and the ocational 24. whats worse is they put bush gaurds/rear bumper protectors and tail light protectors on too. the result looks about as elegant as a drunken sailor on ice skates.

does anyone "need" a bush gaurd in NYC anyway? the nearest tree is about 50 miles away.

Excuse me ?!?! You know, those brush guards come in handy here in NY when pushing those Ricers to the sidewalk. That plus having 4x4, rocks, unabonked !

After living here for a couple years I can honestly say yes. If you want your bumpers to last more than a year here you need a brushguard. Unfortunatley not a single person in this city has respect for other peoples vehicles and when they parallel park they knock the crap out of your car. I know that is a horrible reason to have a "brush" guard. Before I moved here I actaully got use out of mine while hitting stuff off-road. I do agree that if your gonna go for that huge rim look the brushguards dont go with it.

ive seen lifted 4x4's with 18" wheels 33" tires and look good....so what if they never seen dirt. its not you truck so why do you care? Toyo tires has a 20 " mud terain that you need to lift a new superduty 8" and put cut outs on to fit it under "anything". i dont think a truck like that will ever see the dirt......besides if you need to feel better bout your truck by raggin on some one elses then you need to take another look at the direction you truck is goin.....mines ugly, beat to h ll, and i love it that way, my budys 85 dodge short box, 4" lift and 33x1300/18's looks sweet, even if it is a pavement princes. any way just my 2cents :mattmoon:

OK, lets make something perfectly clear.

Lifting your truck, putting 20s on it with offroad tires is fine with me. In most cases it looks pretty good if you use the right rim. Whatever the case, because you're truck is lifted and has offroad tires, it's obvious you're going for the offroad look (whether it be a "show" type offroad look, or a real offroad look).

If you lift a vehicle for the sole purpose of fitting a huge rim with a very small tire, that has big P Diddy wannabe thug written all over it IMO. Same with brushguards on non-offroad trucks.

Does anyone remember that Excursion that was posted a while ago. It was lifted and had 20's with off-road tires and it looked really good. It looked even better when someone posted a pic of it going through some mud off-road. That is perfectly fine, a lift to fit big rims but also big tires.

Haha, I agree with Hartman.
