Default help with rim size

im buying a set of rims and tires as we speak ive got about a week to decide what exact ones im gonna get. I have a set of 20X9 with a -12 offset or a 4.5 backspacing with a set of 35X12.5X20 these are going on a 2002 F250 with a zone 2.5 front leveling kit and a 1"add a leaf in the back. im thinking that I might wanna upgrade my order to 22X12 with the same tires 35X12.5X22 I don't know if the extra 3 inchs on the face of the rim will hurt me or not please help.

They will fit. But 13.50 would look a lot better in my opinion. Once you go that big you want it wider than 12.50.. Just my 2 cents

So I'm looking at 325/50/22 ro go on which is roughly 12 3/4 wide will this not look right or do I need the 345 which is 13.5 will that wide of a wheel fit my truck with the minimal lift I have also this is a city slicker truck will almost never see any rough driving. Mud and sand and the most

Haha idk I'm just saying I would personally go 13.50 becuause it would look really nice on a 12 inch wide rim but that's just my opinion.

its a zone 2.5 inch in the front that someone said is more like 3.5 its a spring pack that adds on to the stock leaf. and a rough country 1" add a leaf in the rear that supposedly is more like 2 I don't know these numbers personaly as I am gonna have the lift installed when I get the wheels because I don't wanna run around with my stocks on a lift no matter if its a huge one or not..

35's is going to rub.. Going really wide is going to Definitly rub.. I've been there . I think you should get like 18 or 20 inch rims with 33 or try 35's get 33x12.50 they would look perfect with that lift
