Default 22 or 24" with 2-4 drop?

I am planning on ordering rims in the near future and was wondering if I could get by with 24s w/o rubbing with no mods or should I go with 22s?

On Oklahoma roads, I would say 22's.

depending on tire size, the 2/4 already is very close on rubbing, 24's would loose sidewall, and agree, on Oklahoma roads, do 22's...they look great on the 4th gens

My vote is 22's and a 305/45/22

I run 22s with a 305/45/22 and have a little rub up front on full lock....I wouldn't go with a bigger wheel because it means less tire.

Now that I think about it and read this, you're completely right. OK roads demolish tires, rims, suspension, etc...

Coweta, is Morton Machine still open? They built a race engine for me there once.

My stock 275/60 20s rub with a 2/4 drop too, I want to go to 285/45 22 soon, or maybe 285/40 if I feel like drop modding
