[TRU3 L3GEND]

Im 5'7', and use 22" spinergy rims. Should I be using 24" rims with my size? And do 24" tires fit on a 22" rim? I have a TiLite ZRA chair.

I'm 5'8" and I have 24inch rims and it works really well for me though I have not tried a smaller rim.

And nope 24 inch tires will not fit on a 22inch rim.

Actually if the rim size is 22" then a 24" tyre is likely to fit as tyres are measured as outside diameter (22" rim dia plus a one inch tyre either side) - have a look at your existing tyres to see what they say.

Most wheelchairs are sold with 24inch wheels - you might be comfortable with a 25" tyre 26" is probably going to be too big - everything you ever wanted to know about tyre sizing but were afraid to ask at http://www.sheldonbr...ire-sizing.html
