Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done.

You have to mill the wheels for the 22" tires to properly seat on the wheels. If you stretch the tires you are taking a great risk on the steel belts breaking and blowing our, thus risking yours and many others lives.

If you want to send/bring the wheels over to us we can get them milled and back out to you the same day.

It is funny because years ago on this site there were all kinds of people asking these questions and I sounded like a broken record repeating myself over and over and over again. This is the first time the questions has surfaced in a long time and some of the older members will think it is funny.

I will send you a PM with some pricing.
