Default swaping 20s for 22s. Same rim.

plan on switching to black SS 22" this time, as they are instock. What you guys think. My truck has a 2/3 djm drop. But was wanting it be more street look. also my 85 project suburban may can use my matte black 20s, with some 33" mts on it as I will beat on that truck. And my Tahoe can get some new matte black 22s. Its the perfect opportunity. 2 birds with 1 stone.

Here is my truck on SS 20s. Somehow the 295/45s looks smaller to me, so I want to change them, but I like how peppy it feels, but I have too much power. So Im going to the 22x10 wheel ss matte black. I will use swap out for some MT 33s on the 20"rim and put it on my 85 burban that has a 408 (6.7L)

295/45/20



285/50/20



How do you guys think the matte SS 22s look on the hoe?

I can understand that. See when I had the 285/50 tires they were a taller diameter, which the truck was street tuned with. Now with the change to 295/45 which are slightly shorter tire. I find myself backpedaling the throttle just to keep traction when Im in a rush. Just would like the 22s, a bit taller and wider, to help offset it and keep me planted.

I think 22s will looks good on it, and its a 22x10 rim not a x8.5 like the 20. Also to me the 295s, looks just as wide as the 285s. And that maybe cause the rim is only x8.5 wide. I plan on running 305/40 on a 22 wheel, maybe a 45 still got to research some more.
