Will 24s fit? If not, what will?
No, I'm not going to get "bling" rims for my truck. What I'm wondering is why the stock wipers are 20", it looks like 24s will are within a 1/8" of fitting. Does anyone know if they'll work? Not like it is a huge purchase in most cases, but I'm looking to try the new Valeo wipers out which aren't exactly cheap at $30ea. 
The way I figure is if the glass is there, may just as well put it to use.

I find the 20" ones are a bit long.
The last 1/2" to 1" seems to float and not quite contact the window as is.
$30 bucks a piece , I doubt they are worth it,
my last set of generic "winterblades" lasted a year, I think that's pretty good.

My last generic blades were 2.99 a piece and lasted 2 years! About a buck a year for blades...
30 a blade don't waste your money on them...

Well I got a set of 24 Valeos on the way. 
Thanks for your inputs.
Oh, and FWIW I paid $30 shipped to my door for both (eBay). The reason I want to try them is in hopes of reducing streaking, trying something new, and not having to worry about ice sticking to them in the winter.

Well I got them installed now, no issues with fitting. It is quite something how much of the glass is cleared now, only spot missed is between the two wiper's return spot and in the upper passenger side.
