22 inch wheel upgrade

Vacountryboy-IXI · 10-08-2009, 03:24 PM

I think if you take the mud flaps off and lower it just a tad it will look juuuust right!

And who exactly are you to decide what a truck really should be?

Tacoyota · 10-08-2009, 04:51 PM

Pull the bar from the front, and lower (GASP!!) the truck so it looks sorta 2wd like. As a 4wd/offroad look imo it aint right, but if it looked street/custom with secret 4wd i think it would come together as a great look we dont usually see.
(edit) btw if ya do that , pull the mud flaps and get an even cleaner look.

yonkpo · 10-08-2009, 06:15 PM

rides better than the factory and it not a hard ride either. it handles really good. I'm in ft lauderdale. Just wasn't sure if i wanted this look or the bigger tires look.

jwhelan · 10-08-2009, 06:43 PM

What is the purpose of that chrome bull nose thing?

Tacoyota · 10-08-2009, 06:45 PM

I think its for encouraging suburus to go ...ahem "offroading"

They look sweet to me. I love the bigger rim on a street truck. So what are the tire sizes and wheel backspacing?

Rudbwoy7s · 10-09-2009, 06:39 AM

useless. but do what you like, as long as you're happy with it.

.Blaine. · 10-09-2009, 12:56 PM

Dude your truck looks sick! i have noticed alot of ppl on here dont like this look and like the off road look so dont sweat what they say. your truck looks bad ass!

huyissuperman · 10-09-2009, 02:29 PM

I wouldn't do it, personally.

Function > form.

Tacoyota · 10-09-2009, 04:22 PM

If it wont see mud it would look good lowered imo, but if its a TRD and such it should look off road.

As far s function , they all start out as people haulers. None of them are truly built for the sole purpose of offroading only. We have 30+/- 2wd trucks at work with liftgates proving trucks are versatile enough to do as each individual's needs see fit.

I'd like to see that Wicked lil TRD get lowered tastefully and get a supercharger, my 4 banger would stall in NEUTRAL if it had to pull up next to that setup!

x2 just not my thing though
