Just get the whole thing over with and get yourself a late 70's metalic lime green Impala with 28's. My buddy is in the wheel biz and laughs at everyone that buys those heavy ill performing wheels.

On the other hand, if you don't want a off road looking truck, build yourself a pro street truck. Look them up. I helped my son with one and it was bad azz.

24's and your bumper? Your truck will look confused. Is it a street truck or an off road rig?

It's a rural area street truck that needs to crush deer at 70, lol! It also occasionally drives through a mud puddle on a dirt road, but not 3 feet deep ones.

Yea those are sweet for sure, but I want to maintain some semblance of a truck. I just dont need 17 inch rims and 44 inch super swampers to drive through a mud puddle. People overthink the whole rim thing too much. No one needs 17's unless they have a raptor and are driving it like a raptor was meant to be driven, 100mph through the desert. your average person who goes down a muddy road from time to time can do so just fine with 20s or 22s, I know 24s is pushing the limits and lowering the capability of running over curbs without slowing down but im cool with slowing down first, haha! Im going for looks without sacrificing too much functionality. Id pit my 20s against any terrain that any of you street jockeys with 17s are taking on, unless you are doing rock crawling, lol!

If that's what you want go for it, but personally with your bulldozer bumper I'd think 18/20's with a nice aggressive tire would look clean

I think 24" rims will look good on your truck, just not the ones you are looking at.

I'm open to other 24" suggestions, the rim guy I talked to said not much would fit with as big of tire I wanted though, and I want black for sure.

LOL I was messing with you. Mostly Funny thing is I pulled off my 20's and put on 17's the day I got it. Like they say, different strokes for different folks.
