o yea well i got 28s on a dawg layin doors j/p looks good
those wheels look good on that mazda but not because they are 22s, they are just a good looking wheel IMO. I have never really been worried about wheel sizes and what not, if a wheel looks good and clean then it makes the rides the same way regardless of the size. I mean if big wheels are your thing and you want to be in competition then thats up to you but a difference between 2-3" won't make one truck shit on another. My

none-the-less, congrats guys. IDK why a big deal is being made about the suspension not being bolted up....thats the easy part for sure.

The big deal with the suspension not being bolted up is that the wheel appears to be set really far in towards the center of the truck (where the curve of the fender doesn't affect height as much), and there is no camber (which adds height to the wheel). Adding suspension has the potential to cause all kinds of clearance problems.With that said, if any shop has the ability to prove to everyone that these problems can be overcome, it's DIB. I look forward to seeing their solutions to these issues, and whether they have a negative effect on driveability- positive camber at ride height, steering clearance, etc.I presume that, with rack and pinion steering, and equal-length upper and lower arms, these issues can be addressed...Good luck, and stop teasing us- get some more pictures up here quick!!

thats my point exactly. Yea it raises all sorts of issues, but nothing they wont beable to take care of, plain and simple. The suspension is the easier part for thsi situation, it wont be a problem for them do design around this at all.
Guy the Suspension is done... it has been done for months now, this is why Zack sold his 20s and 22s after Greenville and ordered 22s for all 4... The only reason you arint seeing pics of it being bolted up is because the 6 lug wheels for the truck arint here and the spindals had to be taken out for the 5 lug to go under it... we have said this aready... But thanks to everybody who understand why we posted the pics... it was simple to prove that yes it can be done and no we were not just talking shit...And yes the truck LAYS... come on guys why would we post pics of it not laying
I think instead of naming your guys shop doin it big, you should have called it do itinda butt. Everything I've seen come out of your shop, I would do inda butt. haha, sad, but true.
i just want to see that thing drag flat out dammit!!
by the way it really does look good with that style wheel in the pic.
if only i could have saved the threads from 3 and 4 years ago on my truck Same shit fellas, haters will keep on hating!!! But keep it up! Bobby at Sadistic for sure had a Nissan and Mazda on 22s a couple years back after we redid the frame for my dime, too bad the customers never followed through with it... now the frames are just rusting away
yeah i wanted to see if a mazda on 22s was possible. i was doing a b/d mazda at the same time as mikes s-10 so i made mounts to bolt the s-10 frame to the mazda cab layed it out and the tires were past the fenders on the NT555 255-30-22 i believe the were about 1.5 inches past the fenders. on a
non-b/d mazda yeah it will work.
HE ALREADY TRIED IT MIKE , THIS WAS HIS QUOTE.
I'm gonna step in here and shut all my haters up. I have a fullsize GMC with 16s on it. That's right I said 16s. I haven't done a bodydrop yet but it is layed out. If you don't believe me, then go to turkey drag and bring that measuring tape again.. But serious, I always liked nissans and mazdas, especially wit some 22s on it. Those are intros right? It's gonna look so sic when finished. Keep us updated

Yeah Rudy, but you have to imagine that was a couple years back when 22 inch tires we're ginormous now you can Line-X on a tire and rock it
