Which tires? How wide are the rims? What's the offset?

If they are the lower profile 22" tires, they should work fine. The larger tires or a wider rim with the incorrect backspacing could cause them to rub a bit.

I would try bolting them on, then checking for clearances--especially when turning. Do all of this before you drive on them...turn the wheel lock-to-lock and have someone check all of the clearances for you.

I think that most 22" combos should fit fairly easily on a 3/5, but I would test everything out thoroughly before you ride on them!

photoshopped. look at the rollpan and where the concrete meets the stones. if a 4/6 were that low i'd be tucking all the rubber on my 275/35's

That is photo shopped. Look at the ground underneith the roll pan. They didn't get that part of the picture matched too well. I have a 4/6 drop with 20s. Some 22s would fit. I don't think it would be good for daily driving, but they would fit.

That guy is from AZ, but I don't know who he is and have never seen the truck around at shows. I go to all of the big truck shows and have never seen him. Who knows??? It is a nice show truck though - I like the paint. (on the outside. the inside was kind of overkill)
