22's and rubbin w/ no mods

[hotbeek]

Just put on my 22's and rears are rubbin with a little suspension travel. I have yet to lower the beast, asuming it's only going to get worse with the drop ? Where/what are people shaving on fender wells ? Looks like in the rear around shock needs to be trimmed or reshaped ?!

Wheel package is 22x9.5, 30 offset. Tires are 305/45/22.

I just put my 22s on with no rub with a 31 offset and i dont have any mods either...but my tire size in 285-45-22...I think you should have 305-40-22 ...the org tire side should be 265 70 17

I wanted a little more sidewall but obviously the extra height causes some clearance issues. I was thinking I should have gone with less offset or I suppose I could always space wheel a little too. A narrower rim/tire would have worked too.

The 305 declares the width, the 45 number is more relative to sidewall.

Yep and the 45 is percent/ratio of 305(tire width) I wanted more sidewall that's why I went with the 45 vs. the 40.

Nice truck! But believe it or not the 305 width is actually your problem. I just picked up a set the same size as yours and was rubbing by the windshield washer reservoir, I trimmed it and everything seems ok. If you had, say, a set of 285/45/22 you'd have no rubbing issues at all.

yeah a narrower tire would not protrude into the wheel well as much(285 with the same aspect/ratio are approx. 3/4" narrower and 3/4" shorter) but its too late for that.... now I just need a clearancing....and I know others are running similar or close to same size tires.
