Default Need a honest opinion and someone with some knowledge of tire mounting.

I wanted to see if you guys had an opinion of these wheels...They're 22"x9". Thinking of going with the regular 275/45/22's up front but on the back could I take a 9" wide wheel and mount an 295, or 315 on the back? I just wondered what the maximum tire size for that rim would be.

I think I like these rims. They're gonna cost me more than buying the "chrome clad" 20" factory jobs with tires, but they look good. Don't they?

Those are the BOSS 335's arent they? I'm looking at the same rims buddy, 'cept black with polished lip. The quote I got was with 305/40/22's. They guy said they were a 33" tire, and would go under my stock-ride-height truck....

Also, with Falken tires (I dont know too much about these, look good though), mounted, balanced, lugs, everything out the door, $1870. Not too bad IMO.... Im not sure if I answered your question, but good luck with the wheels, they will look awesome

EDIT: Lol, when you click on the thumb, it says the name of the wheel, haha. Ah well, I tried to sound smart for one second anyways...

Yupper's they sure are Boss's. LOL. I haven't found too many wheels that I liked and I was about to give up when I found these on Tire Rack.

I was hoping to get at least 305's on the back. I would like 295's on the front. But I think too wide of a tire up front is gonna kill my turning radius. LOL, yeah like these trucks have a decent turning radius anyway, but I wouldn't wanna make it any worse. LOL.

If I could, I would like to have 315's or 325's on the back. I don't know if they will tuck up underneath of my truck. It's gonna be lowered by the time I get around to buying these wheels.

Btw, where did you find them, with tires, for 1800 and change? Was that with mounting and balancing as well? Shipping?

People put 305's on the stock 20x9's so they should fit 22's as well.

K, you think that 325's are a bit too much tire for a 9" wide wheel?

And SilverBullet08, not too interested in black wheels, thanks for the info though. Much appreciated.

Well, if you can find me the one's I posted with the tire sizes I want......that would be cool. I'm really picky when it comes to wheels. LOL. Thanks though. I guess I'll be seeing you at some of these meets? LOL.

Theres a local shop that I went to, Auto Xtras. That price was mounted, balanced, my a$$ riding down the road, $1870. I guess shipping is in that price, or they have some wholesale deal, IDK

I like chrome wheels, but Ill leave those for the wifes Durango. I think the black rims/silver truck combo would be purty nice. I also like these Boss's 'cause they are 'simple', not too much activity going on with the design. Plus they look easy to clean too!!

Yup, that's my thought as well. LOL. I'm gonna keep searching. Maybe I'll find a good enough deal on them. It's gonna be a few months before I get them anyway, gotta wait till the IRS gives me some d*mn money. LOL. My Christmas is in about March, when the US Government decides to give me my hard earned money back that I "loaned them". LOL!!!!!!
