Default 305/40R22 vs 305/45R22

So i am going to be installing Ground Force 2" spindles and Belltech 2" shackles on my 2011 CCSB. I already have the rear blocks removed. So i will end up with about a 2/3 drop.

I want to run a 22x9 +31 rim.

My question is will 305/45R22 Nitto 420s rub?

The specs for the 305/45 are 32.60" tall and 11.85" wide
The specs for the 305/40 are 31.57" tall and 12.20" wide

I know guys run the 305/40 all the time. I prefer to have as much sidewall as possible. For looks and comfort.

Any body run this size? Especially on this size drop?

Think I'm gonna run the 305/45r22 tires. Hopefully taxes is kind enough to me that I can pick the rims/tires up I want.
