22s are small by today's standards, but it's all dependent on your choice of tire size.

I guess what ever is the standard size tires 22'' irocs have...they are usually on a low profile tire n e ways...i think i will be ok with out cutting anything....worse comes to worse i will just demand him to cut about 1 in to be safe...

Just make sure you don't get the big tires w/a 35, 40, or 45 series sidewall and you should be fine. No cutting should be required.

Shouldnt need to be cut bruh. All my dogs runnin the front lower airdam just put the rocs on. Make sure you go with a 245/30 tire. Dont forget the rear wheels will need to be spaced out about 1" or they will rub the frame....
