none of you guys can honestly say that you would EVER tuck 22's on a 4/6 with a 285/35/22 if you aren't running custom backspacing billet wheels like intros or something similar.
if your wheel is less than 10" wide and you want over 4" in the rear, you NEED to run a 265/35/22 tire AND roll the fender lips up in the rear. I am on 22x9" centerlines that tuck slightly and I rub on just the right inner fender lip under a full load bottomed out on the frame.... 285's would be a joke..
say all you want to about "protecting your wheels" from curb rash... if you have rims this big and rubber bands for tires, come on!!...... i TRY to park well over 20" away from curbs.. a 285 wont help crap.. just don't get too close.
BOTTOM LINE is this... even a 265(which is perfect width for most all 22's) will rub on in the rear when you drop low enough to need a notch in the rear.
