Default 20"+ on a Sierra HD?

I was going to lift my '05 2500 Sierra HD but will be doing alot of towing so I think I'm just going to level it out and run 20 or 22" wheels/tires (no, I won't be lowering it ). I'm leaning towards a set of 22x9.5" Weld Evo Velocity 8 wheels. I ran these on my '02 2500 Suburban with no major problems. They only rubbed a little when I was backing up and the wheels were turned all the way. Should I be ok with these on the Sierra?

I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks!
Tom

Not really. It would be really tough to drive if I left it on the rotors...

How are 20/22s on an HD different than running 22s on a 3/4 ton Suburban -



Granted alot of people are used to the lowered look but I don't want to go that way.

Those wheels on the burban would look kick *** on the Dmax. I wouldn't think you would have any fitment issues.

20's or 22's on a stock height truck will look terrible!

I have spoken!
