You might lose some performance & braking

Don't worry about anything. It does take a little extra to stop bigger wheels, but it won't be quite as noticeable unless you get into the 24" range. Most people strongly recommend bigger brakes if you have anything bigger than 22"s.

When you get your wheels and tires on, line up the stockers next to the new wheels and tires and see what the height difference is. If there is none, no need to recalibrate.

well i have 20s all the way around on my truck and they have 285/50/20 tired on it which they told me was the recommended tire for my 02 silverado (the closest to my facotry size) but the speedometer is 2 off at 35 so at 35 im really running 37.. but oh well i want some 22s now.. if you put 20s on the front and 22s on the rear could you post a pic for me? thanks

Tire rotation is important for even treadwear on a 4x4. Shouldn't you have the same size all around?

I'm confused by what you are saying. No one said anything about a 4x4. Tires don't have to be the same size all the way around. A lot of people use to put 18's in the front and 20's in the rear, and now some people are putting 20s and 22s on front and rear. Won't mess anything up.

True you won't be able to rotate your wheels and tires, but the tires can be removed and put on the other wheels to help lengthen tire wear.

Answer = Yes on a 4X4.

Chevy Girls signature says that her truck is a 4x4. That's why I made the comment that I did. I have had trucks with larger tires in the rear in the past but none were 4wd.
