I'm looking at adding a little bling and have decided to go with 22's. Problem is, I don't like the illusion of more wheel well showing because of the smaller sidewall of the 325/50/22's. I don't want a 'street look' to the tires and I've seen Nitto Grapplers in 325/55/22, but no one seems to have them.

Anyone know of another tire that'll work without a lift kit?

I've also considered going with 24's if I can get the right tire size to fit my wants.

I know there are a lot of anti-blingers here, but the bling is gonna happen, like it or not. Any suggestions fot tire/wheel combos? Pics would help a bunch too.

Thanks!

Start with the sponsor of the forum for the grapplers. You can visit the Blingers Unite thread and find some ideas there or use the search button. The selection is endless. If it were me I would do a Tire size / Gear ratio calculation to assist your ideas for a good match. Some tire sizes can affect speedometer, performance, etc as well as you having clearance issues. There are many threads available on this subject. FWIW Bling for some here is a dirty word, but I like it.

You shouldn't have a problem. Many of us have switched from the 315s to 37" tires with no lift and no problems.

Three of the five H2s in this thread have 37" tires with no lift:

OldHiker's (w/ blue tape) and Larson's (tan with black shields - no cables) both have BFG MTs.
Mine (Black) has Cooper STTs.
