Ok Guys, I have decided on these:

Echelon Rolexx 22/9.5




Now what tires will look good with them? Websites suggest 305/45x22 tires.

I think I want largest profile I can do without touching suspension etc, and still good handling, able to drive in rain, and not too much road noise from them...will never be used in snow.
Tires...

Falken STZ04

Hey Mordak,

Those are cool, but I'm looking for something more mean looking.

And NO, I don't work for starringimport!!!!They just seem to have SWEET looking rims!

I just wish I could see these on an H2, preferably BLACK!

Andre 06-11-2005 07:58 PM

20 would be the biggest i would go..anyhting larger looks ugly and rides like crap IMO

HummBob 06-11-2005 08:02 PM

I talked to a couple of guys locally who said that the 22's are fine, but anything larger will F*%K up the ride?

Any ideas on this anyone?

As for the looks, simply a personal opinion. I think 22's look SWEET

trashguy 06-11-2005 10:07 PM

you need a 325/50/22 to keep the stock diameter.
or in a mud tire a 35 12.50 22.

Mordak 06-11-2005 10:14 PM

trashguy, for these rims why do all websites recommend 305/45x22 tires then?

DRTYF? (the imposter) 06-11-2005 11:24 PM

yucky and fyi those ebay wheels are cast junk.

i guess cause their cheaper,makes package prices look better. 305/45/22 is only 32.8 inches tall.its gonna look to small.plus your speedo and odometer are gonna be outta whack.

mossinc 06-12-2005 12:34 AM

Bingo on the price with the smaller tires,plus its the size for the "bling bling look". I have these same wheels in the 20 inch size . There is not a noticable change in ride from stock size . I did have a few say the 22 will ride much rougher .

Mordak 06-12-2005 01:30 AM

trashguy, how do I get speedometer/odometer fixed?

what if i got the echelon rolexx 22", and 325/50/22 tires? Would speedometer/odometer be out of whack still?

it says stock tires are 315/70x17

mossinc, are the echelon rolexx good quality, or crap?

Here you can see how much the tire size will have your speedo/odo off. You can also compare different tire sizes.

I would definately not go for a smaller tire than 325/50-22 just because they will look small.

Mordak and Hummbob, you are clearly looking for some street looks. That's ok. Personally I like 22" but prefer the off road looks. Like the one below:


khiarrr 06-12-2005 05:16 AM

I have 22" rims, they don't mess up the ride at all... My tires are Falken Ziex's, they're nice, although I get some slippage in the rain. They are quieter than stock tires though.

What tires do you have and what's the siz of them?

trashguy 06-12-2005 08:49 AM

heres a truck on ebay with smaller tires,just dosent look right,also remember our trucks are heavy ,with a smaller sidewall you can bend rims much easier,for the speedo you can get a programmer or have the dealer recalibrate it .

Mordak 06-12-2005 10:50 AM

And 325/50x22 tires would fix this? If so, then that's what I'll get it looks like.

Mordak 06-12-2005 11:41 PM

Oh and since my speedometer will be off by 1.254% as shown at http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit when going 60 MPH it will actually read 59.2 MPH, can the dealer adjust the odometer/speedometer to fix this? Would there be a cost or would warranty over it?

KenP 06-13-2005 12:54 AM

That truck above is just plain old nasty. The dealer accidentally put 33's on mine and the truck looked like ass. They kept it until the right ones came in. I wasn't driving that ugly thing around.

Mordak 06-13-2005 01:00 AM

KenP, I don't know anything about programmers at all...would they be easy for a 19 year old newbie to hookup and adjust them with?

How expensive are they? Maybe it would be best to just have dealer do it?

Oh and link to 1 if possible please, thanks man!
