To lay body on the 22s, there is a lot that needs done.
if your going to lay body, regardless of what offset wheel you have, your going to need to narrow the track width a ton. Roughly 1.25" per side. as a general rule of thumb on dakotas, if your going to lay on 22s its narrow 1.25" to 1.5 , laying body on 20s narrow .875" to 1.1875" per side.
You will have to tub the firewall on 22s and 20s. The steering will need addressed to lay on 22s , you will just barely clear on 20s.
fuel tank needs addressed to, either way.
A lot of engine bay stuff has to be worked around to lay on 22s as well. Here are a few pics of a customers truck that layed his out on 22s. Its bad as fuck, thats for sure.

Thanks for the info and pics Taylor, but I dont plan on body dropping it. Its my daily and I dont want nothing too crazy as far as my suspension/wheel and tire combo goes.
Im just needing info on laying frame on 20s and 22s

ahhh, i saw the rendering and figured you were going for a bodydrop.
the 22s out back will probably mean your gonna have to narrow the rear end.
i think with 20s up front, if you just lay frame you wont have to tub... i think.

Might just run 20s or 20/22s then if thats the case. Would cheap stockers/steelies fit in the back without having to narrow the axle first?
If so then I'd probably throw those on it (or if i can sell/trade my off road wheels for 20s), then do a basic bag job, narrow axle, get rims and control arms, then Z it. Think that is a decent game plan/order for someone on a budget?

Cool it still looks good without the Z to me. Also not having to tub the firewall is a plus and money saver haha
