17's will usually have less unsprung weight plus more sidewall flex, both of which make for a better ride and make it look more like a truck! You should do a 1/4 et with both sets on and show everybody the true negative to going with big rims on a truck. The only reason the srt-10's have 22's is a stiff sidewall for increased cornering ability and bigger brakes.

+1 to that... plus with less unspruing weight you get better MPGs bexause there is less resistance down there... and 17s just look better
