Question: 23 or 24 inch rims on Titan? - Page 2

Whatever you like is what matters I won'nt go over 20" myself and will probably just go 18"

Come on!!! BE A MAN!! Get some 65 incher's show'em how big you are..

Although I personally don't care for large rims...I'm not a "hater" either.

I think the best look is achieved at 22" rims on the titan. After that...the looks go down hill. My $0.02...NO REFUNDS

Often these differences aren't even noticeable, perhaps measurable, but to say everything would stay the same etc., is wrong.

wow, totally owned

22's (the spinners in the sig)

I enjoy parking and having a beer with the guys. And my truck gets plenty of looks and thumbs up from everyone passing by.

I absolutely love the stance of my truck. Although I will be looking into maybe a 1/2 or 2/3 drop once I can come up with some money. I do love the lifted trucks too!

no doubt your truck sits nicely on 24"s. i would definatly consider them if it wouldnt hurt my ride and performance. im more of a performance guy anyway. what would be a decent size w/o getting rougher or losing mpg..

I have 22's and noticed a loss in performance and ride. I would therefore say 20's.

i went from my stock 18's to 22's which looked ok...

performance loss wasn't that much of a difference.

i went from 22's to 24's....

pros - looks better

cons - heavy as $hit, ride is a tad rougher, gas goes down if you don't watch it...

only thing that has improved is my passengers in the back don't get sick as much. i guess the truck is less bouncy.

i wouldn't get 20's with low pro's on the titan...it just makes the truck look retarded because the truck is so huge.

I know this thread is old but I just ran into it..
Im tryin to put 24s on a titan. Does anyone know what the biggest series tire you can mount without any mods to the suspension?? I've heard 305/35 is the biggest but I was hoping for something a lil bigger.. Maybe 305/40s 0r /45s... Any info would be helpfull.

Rim width and offset/backspacing will have a big affect on if tires will fit.

Stock suspension and 8" to 9" width rims, (and with the OEM 5.5" backspacing), I think the 305/35s (32.4" diameter), might be the tallest that will work without mods. [The Off Road pkg. 285/70/17 (~33" diameter), are the tallest OEM tires].

Those 305/40s might fit if you can find rims with 5.5" backspacing, (+25mm offset on a 8" width, +18mm for an 8.5", +12mm for a 9", +6mm for a 9.5", 0mm for a 10" rim. Pinch weld mod still might be needed.

If I was trying to squeeze the bigger ones in, I'd buy locally so you don't have to deal with shipping them back if they don't work out.

Most 24s i've ran into are by 10... and the thickest tire theyve reffered me to is 305/35s.. But I would really rather go just a lil thicker than 35s

Edited my previous post.

Pinch weld mod:

Btw, just fixed the 305/35 data, I had enter 25s instead of 24s on that one.

dude it all depends on whether you are gonna be lifting or lowering. if lowering i would go with a 22" maybe a 24". It wont affect your ride that much and also if you think your braking is bad upgrade your rotors from baer brakes. not the brake kit, just the rotors with stock calipers. plus you get that wicked cross drilled look behind the rims. If your lifting a truck i would go with either 20" 22" or 24". This is all about weight. If your worried about mpg (which you shouldnt be if you decided to lift a truck in the first place) the bigger your wheel is with a decent size tire (37") you will be getting better gas mileage cause the bigger rim weighs less than having more rubber and more air for the extra rubber. hope that helps
