...that you will use a lot of gas and have bad mileage!
Only way to save gas is to stay below 2000 rpm and 65 mph.

We have Durango's! We already use lots of gas[8D]

You make a good point about saving gas. However, how many drivers, who tend to modify the vehicle, have the discipline to do that. We tend to like to step on the go pedal so that we can hear the "symphony" under the hood

Im planning on getting 22's, and I have a 08 D 4.7Liter Engine 4x2, does my gas milage its gonna be that bad, just because I have 22 inch rims ?. More less, how much gas milage its gonna be when I get my 22' inch wheels ? ...

About the issue that everyone says, that 22's suck at offroad and etc, thats obviously .. because everyone that gets 22's they are not planning on doing off road, its just a cosmetic matter ... to show off. And in the city, I think they'll go pretty fine ...

Al.

I would guess about 1.5-2 mpg's less...
The additional weight of the wheel's is killing mileage!

I put some 22's on mine and it killed the milage. I'm hard pressed to get over 10 in the city and I could barely get 15 on the freeway. They were 305/45-22 Nitto 420s that came off my truck. Tires were too tall and too heavy. I'll def get some shorter tires if I ever do put some 22's on there permanent.
