If you like the looks and plan to stay on the roads, then the 22's are fine. They fit the truck, drive nicely, and I had no problems with them. But they just don't suit my needs as I want beefier tires with more sidewall. For both the performance and the looks. I spend a fair amount of time doing "light" off road driving and get into some terrain where I'm more comfortable with less rim and more tire. I'm sure the 22's can handle plenty, but would obviously be more prone to damage, and 22's are obviously not designed for that job. My true off road jeeps always had 16's or 17's, but I think the 20" is a good compromise for this particular truck if you plan to push it through some uncomfortable stuff. Otherwise, just go with whatever looks the best to you. Probably best to just take delivery, drive it for a while, then decide. Good luck!
