24's are a challenge, even if you just flat-bed to shows.

Normal driving with 22's (potholes; freeway cruising; hard braking) has been a problem for many unless you get the wheel and tire sizes and offsets dead-on and upgrade brakes.

Driving on 24's and staying within the bounds of safety is not feasible.

There are hundreds of posts in this forum on oversizing the wheels. Have a look around, especially this thread moderated by Rogue:

You can actually put on 26s but I do have to warn you of the hazard that I've seen 1st hand. I've been a proctologist for 20 years and had a patient visit me the other day with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his anus. Apparently, he had just put a set of 26s on his 300 and hit a slight bump in the road causing the tire to protrude through the floorboard, through the seat in the car and through the seat of his pants. You can figure out the rest. I wouldn't recommend anything larger than a 22.
