22" or 24" wheels is the question....

Going to do 22x10.5 on all corners. 305/40/22 tires. OR, 24's... I just haven't seen any in person and don't know...

Here is the wheel I'm doing - that I just LOVE. I'm also a dealer for Concavo and a dealer for many other aftermarket companies if you guys ever need a deal.

Nice rim's!!! You'd be a brave man, live where there are no potholes, and you must be a very careful driver too, to go with 24"s I too am upgrading to 22's also, though they will be AMG Multispoke 22x10 on all four corners. I wanted more meat for sidewall protection, so I am going with 305/45/22's

Thanks. I've decided 22" is the magic number. But, I LOVE that Concavo wheel. You can also pick the inside color, black, gun metal, or all silver.

Yup. I'm done with the low profiles and love the 19"s on our GL450.

My next set will be 305/35/24 tires with 24x11.

Right now I've run the following with no major issues (slight rub at full turns, but nothing concerning): 285/45/22, 305/35/23, 305/40/22.

305/40/22 is by far the best setup for every day driving - it has large sidewall and comfort.

Any pictures so far? Any chance you're Jason Burtman of Burtman Industries (I had an Infiniti before)?

Ok, wheels being made as we speak. Going with matte grey insides, see pic. And truck will be wrapped in white satin pearl eventually. Right now it's gloss black.

Very nice - are those gravity cast, flow formed or forged?
