How does everybody feel about 22” rims Versus 20” rims?

Looks awesome!

Any idea how much heavier each wheel and tire are over the stock setup? 1-2 MPG isn't insignificant.

i don’t know how heavy the factory setup is, but forgestars are ~30lbs and the Michelins I think are 45lbs if memory serves, according to tire rack at least.

Seems a bit off, I went to 34.1" LT tires and didn't lose anything on the mileage. I did lose 1 MPG going w/ the tremor skid plate deleting the front airdam.

So the aerodynamics are legit?! Do I need to add back the dork aero shields to the rear fender? ?

I get that it's likely the added weight...

20 would be my max had a set on a 19 stx truck rode fine no issues. My 24 xlt has 18 I like them more

I swap between factory 22s in the summer and factory 18s in winter. No real noticeable difference in ride quality. Due to the heavier setup of the 22s the do a bit worse in town for mpgs but seem to be as good or better on the highway. Tires are a factor in all of this as well.

You are right, the width makes things worse. I'm sitting at 19.8 mpg overall average after the wheels and lift. Easily lost 3 mpg. I just turned 3,500 miles on the truck, so we'll see what happens after it gets broke in some more. Powerboost.

Well don’t get it lifted because then you’ll lose 3-4 more mpg. I only get 16 mpg in my F-150. Very nice truck by the way!

I'm not bitching about mileage. Someone asked what I was getting. Will take the looks and lift over the mileage all day long. Thanks for the compliment!!

No doubt! Smiles per gallon is all that matters! ??

So nobody has had any experience with this idea?

I'm in total agreement. The narrow sidewall amplifies any road bumps or cracks. I literally feel every rock I drive over and off road is unbearable. This fall is time to replace tires and I'm seriously considering going to 18" wheels. The savings of going to 18's from 22's will nearly pay for the wheels.

I'm thankful to have OE 18's on my Lariat - never a moment's regret.

285/75/17's, but that's why I bought a TRUCK!

Chiming in I had a 2019 Limited with the 22s and while I loved the look it was a pain finding 3-peak rated tires for them and they were expensive to replace. It didn’t feel like they belonged on a truck. I love the 20s on my 2014
