22" Max Tire Size? Need some help.

[coffeyman76]

I have searched through all the posts here and other places and have yet to find confirmation on the max tire size for 22" wheels and wanted to see if anyone has had success before they mount up mine.

My plan was to go with the 285/50R22 Nitto Terra. I have a 2.5" / 1" level kit to be installed and could live with very minor trimming if necessary but don't want it to rub. Sidewall height is very important to me given my driving requirements. I don't want the tires sticking out past the fenders either - flush is ok, but not super wide. I am of course limited by the available 22" AT tires from Nitto or perhaps Toyo.

Nitto:

285/45/22
285/50/22
285/55/22
305/40/22
305/45/22

I have seen successfully installed 305/45R22 (2.5/1 level), 295/55R20 (2.5"/1" level) and 285/50R22 on several Sierra/Silverados with the 2.5/1 but have yet to see a Yukon with them.

I will be running the OEWheels 22" Denali rims. The vehicle is a 2015.5 Yukon Denali

WHEEL SIZE: 22x9
WHEEL OFFSET: 31
BOLT PATTERN: 6-139.7
HUB SIZE: 78.1
BACK SPACING: 6.22

Thoughts? Opinions? The 305's are pretty close so that might be the safer call.

Thanks in advance!

I am running 305/40-22" no rub. It is a 4x4 tahoe. Idk if that makes a difference compare to a 2x4.

285/45/R22 are the best tire size for me

I'm running 285 45 22 and lowered 2-3 and no rub.

All these tire variations seems to land pretty close to a 33 for the lifted/ leveled trucks but if you can run a 32" tire on a 2/3 lowered (285/45/22) truck the limiting factor is probably wheel well width not height is that right? I'm trying to figure out the largest tire I can fit on a 22" wheel with the truck leveled, but I want to bring the rear down not the front up.

Im running a 285/55r22 Nitto with a 2.25" level. I do scrub when in reverse. I did not trim but i did use the heat gun to mold the fender back near the pinch weld.

 

[02Burgundybeast]

I do not have any lift in the rear other than load level bags.

What is the biggest Nitto tire size I can go with on stock 22" rims with stock truck
285/45/22 is oem
but can it fit.....

305/45/22?
or
285/50/22?
or
285/55/55?

Would like the 305/45/22 to fit but unsure? Any input or thoughts would be great, thanks

 

[02Burgundybeast]

I would say either the 285/55 or 305/45. You will rub with anything bigger.

 

[massivespl]

Id do 285/55/22

Anyone running 285/55R22 's with a 2.5" level/lift on here? I'd like to see photos and or hear feedback on rubbing.

I am. I have the rough country 2.25" front level, stock rear. I do scrub when I have people in the back and flex the rear. My truck 99% pavement so I rarely scrub. The front does rub and required minor work with the heat gun. I really like the look and the how the tires fill out the wheel well.

Gents, I really like the way 0 or -# offset wheels look, INSTEAD of positive offset wheels. I plan on getting the Susp MAXX 2.5" level lift and will install 285/50R22 Terra Grappler G2's on Vogue VT379 wheels in Satin Black with +16mm offset, INSTEAD of the +31mm OEM offset.
Will pushing the wheels out that 15mm cause any rubbing at full lock? Anyone have experience with this? THANKS!!

02BurgundyBeast, can you post any pics of your setup from the side for me? I'm interested in seeing how it looks.

I'd like too see pics
What tire did you choose?

 

[jackedupZ71]

anyone ever get any pics? I have been looking at replacing the tires on my wifes tahoe, and can't figure out if i can do a 285/50, 285/55, or stick with 285/45r22. the front is leveled, just haven't measured to see exactly how much it is raised up

305/45/22 on mine, for now, with no leveling or rubbing - stock ride height.

Did you end up having to replace your spare tire or did you keep the same spare tire size when you went to the 305s? I'm trying to figure out if I need to replace my tahoe's spare tire as well.
