Can I run 22s w/ the drop I have now ..if I extend the fenders of course? I was wondering if I can put the wheels on when I buy them or will I have to bag the truck before I put them on.
it looks like your running a pretty beefy 16' tire so i would check the wheel tire combo for both sets,, but with a 5/8 drop its gunna be tough i would think
The 22s are going to be about 1" taller in the front but I dont think you will have a problem. The wheels have more of an offset than the 16s you have and the bigger wheel/tire combo is going to raise the front of your truck just a little. So at the most you will have to do some fender rolling.
In the rear you will have no problem and the 22s will be almost 2.5" shorter than the 16s. The only thing you will have to deal with is the width issue.
It's an inch all the way around, only a half of that inch will be at the top... it'll lift the front a half inch and go a half inch further into the wheel well.
And like you said, only thing I would worry about is width.
