I agree. I was just trying these on to see what the backspacing would be.

To flashy for me, . Besides, we wouldn't want to Burbs running around here with the same wheels, .

Sounds like we're thinking alike.....

These are 22's, but the tire is to small. I don't like rubberbands.

I do like those rims but maybe not on the large bodied burb, I also think when 20's are used on the rear you need a bit more tire (sidewall) to fill the wheel wells. But then this is just my two cents, it's your ride and you should go with what you like.

I will say though, I love the brakes man. I have been looking at that kit myself and I think I will be picking a set up here real soon!
I've pretty much decided that I'm going with 20 x 10's (29" tall tire) in the rear and 20 x 8.5's (27" tall tire) in the front. The brakes are awesome! If they perform as good as they look, I will be extremely happy.
