Got my eye on this set of 24" alloys for my Lightning, been speaking to the guy and he doesnt want a massive amount of money for them to end the auction early. I need 2 new rear tyres for my current wheels which is almost the same price he wants.

Anyone know if handling will be massively different, different enough to not want them? Handles ok at the moment on the 18's (295/45/18 I think, no Lotus Exige but superb for a truck!) but with 305/35/24 will it be a lot worse? Dont want to get them if its going to be completely shite. I am going to be lowering the truck to compensate the ride height if I get them!

my experience with range rovers (used to work at a dealer) is that anything over 22s does balljoints a lot more and the vehicle is pretty heavy so id imagine it would be the same on your lightning.

Mate had a lightning with 22"s and he ended up going back to standard wheels because of the ride and handling depends how much you use it and what for i suppose.

Shouldnt have many problems mate only ££££££££ for tyres ... Gonna need some Big stoppers to fill them ... 415mm Wilwoods might do the trick.

KMC's are what you need ... Or Black Widow's .. Maybe some Dick Cepek ..

Ive got 22s on my jeep and it rides and handles better on these than the standard 18s!!

lol!! cheers chaps, i have spoken to the guy and he said the rideheight is 4.5" higher than standard (which is high enough as it is!!!) so I would need to properly sort the suspension out to get the look right, which isnt going to be cheap as parts are limited over here!!

Still a little worried about the handling. Might just not bother and wait for some 20's or 22's to come my way!!

we get plenty in at work and they seem fine compaired to std. we get loads of hummers on 24" cromeys we had one in with 27" if i remember right all seem sound enough to drive so i can't see any real problmes otherthan the price of tyres
