24 Inch Wheels
So you want to put bigger wheels on your truck? 24 inch wheels might be good looking, but here are a few things you will want to know before bolting them on.
Fitting larger wheels on your truck can be tricky. Check with the online stores and see if they list 24 inch wheels for your vehicle. If they do, chances are good that that size won't require trimming to avoid rubbing of the wheel wells. In not, you might have to have your body shop or installer modify the wheel wells to accomodate the larger size. A quick check online can tell you if others have put that particular size on their truck.
Large diameter wheels will cost a lot of money so protect yourself by insuring your purchase. Most likely, purchasing your wheels as a set will save you some money, but if something happens and you have to fix a wheel or purchase another one you will definately be reaching in your pocket for a good chunk of change. What is it they say? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
If you are looking at bigger wheels, you should find a supplier that will be there for you during the life of your wheels. If you catch a flat, you aren't going to be able to run down to the local Walmart to get a replacement. Having a reputable online dealer who can send out a new tire fast or a local shop where you can go quickly will save you a lot of time, and keep you driving.
Finally, know that the larger you go in wheel size the harsher the ride. Don't go overboard if this is your daily driver. Remember, you aren't the only one being shaken by your bumpy ride. Wear and tear on your truck will be evident as well.
