265/40/22? Are you planning to lower the truck? If so, I would go with a shorter tire...

Oh, and my 3.7 has a hard time spinning my 20's, so Id bet your truck will hate you... :lol:

 

No i don't believe im going to lower it......much :thumbup: But besides the resistance it applies to the acceleration. Is there any serious mechanical damage that these can cause? Even if its farther in the future?

 

Not that I know of. I know that it takes more power to turn the wheels, and you may lose some accelleration, but as for mechanical damage, I don't foresee any problems.

 

Thanks for your input !

 

what size tire do you have on there now?

 

I could be wrong but. 225/70/16?

 

Yup its 225/70

 

on 16s?

use this to help you see what will happen with your truck:

Yesir.

 

I don't know the specs of the wheels completely, or what tires you want to get, but in general, you are looking at an overall increase of about 90-100 lbs of weight added to your truck. Factor that in to your overall use of the truck and longevity.

 

Do you think its substantial?

 

Didn't even think about this until now...

Are the 22s coming off of a Colorado?

 

Yes they are but they were only on there for a short period of time. Why do you ask?

 

Are they black mamba's old 22's?

 

Yes!

 

Ball joints will wear out quicker, it will change your tach and speedo reading, you may rub on the swaybar and loose turning radius.

Thats about it.

 

The only problems is if the backspacing was wrong. But if it came off a colorado, then the backspace and all should be right.

Only thought this because some people buy rims off of trucks other than a colorado.

 

I have not noticed any "Damage" from running 22's. You will notice a "loss" in power, just gonna be tough for the truck to get them going. I corrected my power issue with a tune shortly after getting the 22's.

 

and they are sitting in my garage right now.....to help Paul and Chris out on driving.

 

I forgot to thank you for that. Im an ass.

Jeremy thank you for everything yesterday and housing my future investment. Im in your debt, You the man.

 

Thanks for all the info guys, I hope to compensate for the power loss with a CAI and exhaust and a ported throttle body.

 

and a tune!

 

Void my warranty or just the CPU

 

Are you under warranty dude?

 

Yes. My 3/36 will run out in July though (truck is 2008), but I have not had any issues with the mods that I do have done up to this point with my warranty. I specifially asked about the exhaust before I bought it. They have to pull my truck up on blocks of wood to get the lift under it for oil changes...they have never said a word about it being lowered, etc.

 

That low profile of tires will make your ride a bit harsher...some of your interior plastics could start rattling more because they'll get jiggled around a lot more...worth it to run 22s IMO.

 

you think i should go bigger then 265/40/22? I dont have it dropped.

 

They will give you a smooth ride as long as you are on a flat surface. But when you hit a pot hole, the tires you have now since they have a larger sidewall, give you a little more bounce so it's like adding pillows to your ride. Small sidewall on newer tires means harder ride. You're going to feel more of each bump.

 

put on the 22's.

their round just like the tires coming off, if they are balanced it'll be a smooth ride.

if low profile tires (265-40 isn't bad) rode like poop, you wouldn't see every vehicle out there with them.

just put them on and drive the truck for a few days and you tell us what you think.

 

They will prob void your warranty on suspension parts. telling you those bigger
heavier wheels caused parts to break.

 

Is that right? My dealership is a bunch of crooks anyways i wouldn't doubt it. Have you experienced this?

 

dude just get them and if you don't like them sell them to me!! :deal:

but i suggest lowering your truck unless you wanna look like a donk

photobucket is down right now but ill add pics later to show you mine before the drop, and yes i have 22s

 

Alright cool, i really want to see what its like without the drop.

 

like shit IMO

 

:yeahthat:

If u do end up getting em the paint is a slight shade lighter than our pace blue but it still looks awesome btw did u ever put those flares on i sent u last year?

 

nope still have em tho...just kinda stashing parts till i get it all then ill have everything painted and installed! :lmao:

i have too many parts not enough money!!!

do you have any pics of them on your truck?
