depends on the wheel and tire. The tires are gonna have to be really skinny...like a 265/40/22 or a 35 series. Even then you may have to raise the front a little. It all depends on the backspacing/width of the wheels.

i know 22's wouldnt fit on my friends 02 mounty, that was also with a big tire, we rode around on them a couple times but they had BAD rubbing problems, we also had to use lug pattern convertors since his dumbass bought the wrong wheels off ebay so they were spaced out very far. he eventually just got 20s.

As long as the bolt pattern is correct, 22" rims will bolt right on.

The rims aren't the problem...it is the tire you have to worry about.

I didn't see a question about tires.

good one Technically I guess 28's or even some 32's will fit...It will ride like crap though, because there wont be room for tires.

i dont want to use a small tire i want like 40 or 45's series tires....if not ill just put 20's with a 40 series or 45's to fill up that fender well

I have 265/35 on mine. I would go with a 295/40.

That will be too wide without lifting the front. Those are equal to a 31x11.6.

 

[TerryS1980]

Only if you don't have the right offset.

 

[justin146]

Most on the board havent been able to fit anything larger than a 31x10.5 wide tire on the front without a TT, and that is with stock offset wheels. It will fit, but you wont be able to turn because of rubbing issues.
