Made my 22" rim decision! (Part 2)

[Mordak]

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.

RAM, did you have the odo or speedometer adjusted?

No I have not, but maybe I should. I really want to upgrade my brakes. I noticed a difference there right away.

[Mordak]

$400 for the diablo programmer, wow...didn't think they were that much. I could live with a 1 mph off speedometer, would the odometer be 1.54% off as well? If so, that could definately be a problem I'd need the dealer to reprogram.

[Mordak]

Hummerdude, those wheels are sharp, how much was a set of 4?

[Andre]

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

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

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.

as far as your speedo/odo q here's a link to the diablo predator programmer really easy to use to readjust for tire size just enter in original and new and your done instrucitons are a big help as well i just ordered 22's today and am either going to run 325's or if i can 37x13.5's maybe we can help each other out in this process

oh and lemme know if you plan on ordering one too a buddy of mine got me a deal on mine and can probably get you the same price as well

[Mordak]

Ah, more expensive than I'm looking for.

Just need answers to the speedometer + odometer question and I'm all set

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! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

If you can type on your keyboard, than you can use the programmer. Hypertech is one that I have used on my last 4 vehicles.

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.

[trashguy]

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 .

[HUMMERDUDE]

Around $6,000.00

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

[HummBob]

Hey Mordak,

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

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

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? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Buy a programmer so you can make adjustments to the performance level and adjust for the tire change.

I have 22's MC2 wheels and Toyo A/T open country
325/50/22

[Mordak]

<crickets> hehe

[Mordak]

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?
