wheel size idea

[Munkie]

So I have this idea.....Most of the things I love about my truck are due to how much it reminds me of a classic muscle car/rod. Keep in mind before this truck I have always leaned towards extremely large 250-350 size truck with 6-8 inch lifts so this truck feels much more like a "sport" truck to me. I bought a 2014 limited with 4 corner air suspension. I grabbed a Vararam intake and went with a thrush muffler. My idea that I want input on is staggering wheel/tire sizes like a hot rod or super car. Either staying with 20" on front and go to 22" on rear or possibly staying 20" on rear and going to 18" on front. So my questions are; What do y'all think aesthetically? and do you think there would be any negative impact concerning the air suspension. Im not wildly concerned about towing...since it can hardly do it anyway. lol

Imo I would put the same size on all 4 corners. You may be able to pull the look off if you keep the aspect ratio the same but unless you would lower it and keep the rake to keep the gaps close I don't think it would turn out good. Think Corvette style stance if you dont want to spend the coin for the stance stay with equal sizes. Jmo but your truck your money do what makes you happy.

If it is 4 wheel drive you can’t do that as the tires have to be the exact same size front and back.

Yep...out goes that idea, I didn't consider the wear on the differential...oh well

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I’d rather tell you about it now than have your drivetrain possibly grenade on you.

all good! that's why I asked...wasn't thinking about the differential at all

Rim size want matter as long as tire diameters are the same.......wheel rotation though.....LoL

Corvettes and other vehicles have done for example 18" front with 245/40/18 and 19" wheels in the back with 285/35/19. Your issue would be you can't rotate front with rear, only front with front and rear with rear and that will prob mean accelerated tire wear. Plus i don't know how a staggered setup will look on a truck at stock height. You'll have to do some sort of crazy lowered setup for it to look good. You won't have any issues with the diff unless you're running the one big and one small size in the rear, and i doubt you were thinking to do that anyways
