I love the look but it's just too much $$ for me.I may have to stick to smaller rims. |

BTW- those are 22.5s on the X I posted. I actually don't recall ever seeing 24.5s on one. It would be interesting, I suppose. By the time you are into the tires, wheels, adapters, and then the lift you'll need to run them and whatnot, it can add up to quite a bit, that is for sure.

...not to mention you should upgrade the braking system if you plan on going with that type of bling

Bling bling, for sure. I was in a Firestone store a couple summers ago and saw a 26" wheel/tire package for $9,000. Not offroad tires by any means, but man, that is a lot of money to make your vehicle ride rough and limit wheel travel. Doubt many guys are chopping their fenders to accomodate 26's. I'd rather put $9,000 into engine/tranny mods.

Well, the red one above is (supposedly) 12". I've been told that you can get away with less lift, maybe with smaller floats? I'm not sure how that works, but the shop link I put up there would probably have further info.
