So I will be buying the 22 TBSS reps once I receive my tax refund. I was thinking of putting some 305/45/22 on it. Currently the truck is bone stock in the front, with only a pulled block in the rear to level it out a bit. The current size on it now is 265/65/18 (factory). I'm thinking I am going to put bilsteins all the way around with the height adjustables in the front. Maybe go one notch up to make it fully level.

I guess my question is, will the 305/45 be too short? I like as much sidewall as I can get, but rubbing annoys the hell out of me. I will trim some plastics if need be, but I don't want to get into any metal cutting. What other sizes might work?

 

I dont know what you truck is or any specs of lowering but I run a 285/45/22 and they fit very well on a nnbs with a 4-5 drop....

 

2011 ccsb z71 4wd 6.2L.
No drop.

Maybe down the road a 3/5.

But now it is stock height front.

 

i had 305/45/22's on boss 313's and at full lock they rubbed front fenderwells right on the plastic clip that holds them in. Once I removed the clip it wasn't as bad but still rubbed especially when backing up with wheels cut to the left. I'd look into smaller tires like the 285's! I have holes in my front fenderwells from where the tire pushed the liner into the frame.

 

Thanks brutal, that's the type of info I'm looking for.

 

4/7 drop on 305/40/22 here, and they rub. 305/45 would definitely rub, even at stock height. I'll be doing 285/40 or 285/45 nexst time I buy tires.

 

Im at 4/6 and getting 305/40/22's all the way around. Seems like from 'most' of my info gathering on similar set-ups there was very minimal to no rubbing at all.

 

I've put two holes in the plastic liner on my driver side, I ripped my passenger side out the first winter because snow got packed in there. I've been lowered 50,000 miles now though. 305/40 will rub, but it's not something unbearable. I barely even notice, just used to it.

 

ya i have 4/7 with 305/40/22s all the around also and they rub, the 285/45/22 are taller then the 305/40/22s so ill be going 285/40/22 in the front also

 

You got it!
