Those wheels look great. Love the deep dish, but only one negative and thats the fact that once you go above 20" you have to give up the staggered rears. To me those rears look way too skinny. The staggered 275 F and 315 R really suits the X. Especially with the arch extentions.

Shame people have to sacrifice that look just to have a larger rim. I guess it comes down to economics. a 315 in a 22" would push the price up quite a bit, and do they even make the rear rims in a 10.5"?

Looks great anyway (from most angles).

Cheers.

Kev

22" staggered are available, i am running dunlop sport maxx 265/35/22 on the front and 305/30/22 on the rears.....gives the truck a much aggressive stance.

I was also thinking a 1-2" drop would help eliminate some of that awkward space you now have in your wheel wells .
