Just a guess from being around people who put big wheels and/or tires on everything: Cons-harsher ride, reduced braking capability(stock brakes imo suck anyway and extra rotating mass doesnt help either, but terrible in the city as it will take more power to get going because of the added weight especially if you dont change the rear gears (and fronts too if you have 4wd and plan on using it.), the speedometer will need to be calibrated.
Pros-it looks cool, you can potentially carry more weight because they will be more up to the task, better mpg on the highway

Edge's juice with attitude has a tire/ mph calibrator in it, as well as a few other chips. 22.5's main thing besides looking bad ***, is the tires will last you years. you can get alot of milegae out of those things. How ever from what ive heard, the adapters are a somewhat major mod and are kinda pricey. Check out bigduallywheels.com. Hope that helps.
