Cheaper is not better. The ride will be better and to GM's 'spec' if you get the GM OEM 22x9 rim's. To give it a meaner/wider stance you could go with 305's but the spec tire size is 285.

Screw GM spec haha. But the oem is a way better choice than the Boss wheel. The Boss wheel will look stupidly small because it has a front lip unlike the GM wheel.
Actually if you're patient you can get good deals for oem packages on ebay ... I just got the CK375 package new, wheels/tires/tpms/lugs/caps, mounted and balanced for $2100 shipped. Such deals aren't always available but if you check every day you'll eventually find one.

When I say GM spec i'm referring to the 22x9 size that they use for their OEM 22's... I feel like the narrower width of the rim gives me a better ride quality and also much easier when turning the steering wheel... I don't know... it might just all be in my head
And yea I agree.. the lip on 22" or bigger wheels makes the wheel look smaller then it really is. Although your 26's still look HUGE with the lip on it

Do you like your wheels? What did you have before you got them? What kind of tires did you get with the package?
I can get the OEMs for $340 per wheel, but would need some tires. 305 or 285....BIG DIFFERENCE??
I had these Enkei 24x10 with 295/35/24 and 20mm offset which you can compare with the new ones in my sig:
I have the oem recommended goodyears 285/45/22.
I honestly don't know what the difference in ride would be between the 285 and the 305 as I haven't had 305s on my 22s. I'm sure someone here has though so they'll chime in.

305 is a wider tire then the 285 so it does look better IMO... all personal preference though. GM Spec for the oem 22 Tires are the 285
I had 305's on my 24's and liked the width a LOT. Whenever these Kumho 285's wear out I want to get some 305's -- either the Nitto 420's, Nitto Terra Grappler's, or maybe the Toyo Open Country A/T's... all those are sick looking 305's

Going to have to check them out, and see the difference between the 305/285. anyone have any head shots/side by side shots of the 305 vs the 285?
