Default truck question

I currently have a 05 f-150 stepside 2WD truck with custom wheels. The wheels and tires are 20". Personally, I think they look a bit small and i'm not a fan of the style. Was wanting anyones opinions on what I should do as far as the wheels go. Will upgrading to 22"s make a huge diff or no? If anyone has any suggestions on what would look good, i'd love to hear them. Thanks.

Heres a link with a couple pictures of the truck.

imo they do look a tad small/out of place i think a couple inches bigger on the tire and wheel would do it some good!

I bought the truck about a month ago and the wheels really didn't look too bad to me then, but after drving and looking at it for a month now, I know I need something a bit bigger, just don't know what yet. Thanks

if thats a 20 i would move up to a 24...and a better style


For a 2WD truck and after market wheels you can run 33s with wheels that fit within these specs.
-For an 8" wide wheel the backspacing is 5.5 inches.
-For and 8.5" wide wheel the backspacing needed is 5-6 inches
-For an 9" wide wheel the backspacing is 4.5-5.5 inches.
