Default 22" or 24"

Should I get 24" rims or 22" rims. If I go with the 24" I think I would have to get a leveling kit.

Yea sorry. I don't have any suspension work done. Just a lariat supercrew 4x2. I am thinking of going with the 22s because I go snowboarding a lot and 24s aren't the best for snow.

Don't you deal with road salt then? If so you will need to take your wheels off every winter because the salt will eat the finish of the chrome.

Thanks for all the feedback. I think I am going to go with the 22's. Please post pictures of rims on your truck. I am not sure which kind of wheel I want so all pictures are much appreciated. Thanks.

You don't need to get a leveling kit for the 24's. They'll fit fine with no mods.

FWIW-if you want you can get killer deals on the chrome (and silver too) 23"s that came on Saleen F150s, they have a ton of them on eBay for around $600 for a set of rims and $1500 for rims and tires.
(I paid $600 for my Saleen chrome rims and $750 for my conti tires shipped)

Google "Saleen F150 S331" for pics or Ebay search "Saleen 23" rim
