Ok so coming from people that have actually ran these wheel sizes, did the smaller wheel actually improve ride quality? (Tire size being the same)

I'm coming from a 325/50/22 on a 22x12 and am thinking of going 35/18 or 35/20, will I actually notice the ride difference or will it be minor?

I've got 18s and I would give up some ride quality for a nice set of 22s....when I first got the rims, I loved the idea of cheaper tires....but now I'm shooting myself for being cheap...

I'm not really doing it for price considering my let setup costed 5k. I'm looking to see if dropping down is really going to make it ride better.

I love my 18's. They definitely ride better than my 20's did and I'm only running a 33" tire.

An 18 and a 35 will definitely ride better than a 22 with the same size tire. I guess it depends on where you drive. Some roads here in the winter, the pavement buckles, pits, and pops so bad you really need some sidewall to protect your wheel.

I love 22x12s but i think id have to run a different set for most winters, which would probably be a 18x9 or maybe a 20x8 or 9 if the price was cheap nuff!

I couldn't make myself go to 18s or 20s even though I know the ride will be "improved" even if it is marginally

but you can make 18s look good like TripleE44
