Absolutely not!! I have 22" wheels and I love my Brushed Aluminum Running Boards. I diy'd the running boards. It took about 3 hours for the removal of the old trim and to install the new..
Make sure that you get the green gun from NAPA specifically for plastic rivets as that is one of the keys of a successful install. I paid like $20bucks for mine..
Here are some pics with the running boards..
