My truck is stock ride height and my daily that I like to race around. Im kinda thinking the 22s will look ghetto and I need to stay around 31.5 inch tire height. These tires compared to my AT3 will grip a lot better just by themselves but there is quite a tread width dif between the two. 20s have 9.5 inch tread and 22s have 10.7 inches. Both are on 9 inch wheels so the 22 will be pulled in a bit. Ideas? Input?

With black wheels on a black truck, you're really not gonna notice the difference between 20s and 22s. That being said, of your two choices, I'd do the 20's. Cheaper, lighter and better ride quality.
