22" Wheels ride quality? Gas Mileage?

[bearsdenali]

Do you really get less MPG or could it be the larger dia. wheels/tires roll up fewer miles than the smaller 16's?

16s look gay

22s look great

I went from factory 20s to Lexani Luxury 24s. The only noticeable difference on my 2015i is a decrease in gas mileage (city only) and a little bit of roar from the Pirelli's. I assume this will go away with wear. The 24s still don't fill up the fenders!

I think given that 22's are a factory option there is likely no measurable impact on performance or fuel economy. I don't see different fuel ratings on the trucks with different wheel sizes.

It is generally accepted that a lower sidewall increases ride harshness but can liven up the handling. Not in all cases but some.

just upgraded from stock 20's to stock 22's and haven't notice a difference in the ride.

I found the 22's to be to "splashy" handling wise. I went with the 20's and love how it handles.

I went from 17's to 22's

MPG, acceleration and braking all suffered. I installed a 2600stall to help with the acceleration and it worked wonders.

One thing that did improve in my opinion is the handling (and of course the aesthetics)

2600stall? Would you mind elaborating on that?

have had 18' and 20" Rims on several Suburbans and Yukons I have had, would never go bigger then 20" ride quality most important to me. Don't like the 22" ride feel. 20" and the right tires is the best overall.

Since I started driving I have had 14-15-16-17-20-22

None of them ride bad
