3/5 Drop - Tire Recommendations?

[G-NOTE]

What are you guys running on a 3/5 with...

22" wheels???

24" wheels???

 

[Modded]

Most of the time its either 285/45/22, 285/40/22, 295/35/24 and 305/35/24.
Considering theses are SUV and at 3/5 rubbing may happen, I would say you use the second 22" tires I posted or the first 24" one as they are smaller than the other.

 

[G-NOTE]

Man those sound too large for a 3/5...

I was thinking 275/35R24's

or

265/40R22's

A 275 series tire is way too small for a large SUV, JKMotorsports has like a 4/6 drop on 305/35/24 with no issues.
Iwaslowr also has a NNBS with a 3" front drop with 305/30/26 and just had to do some minor heat gunning to clear w/o rubbing.

Welcome to the forum!!!

It's all about personal preference... here's a link to a helpful tire comparison calculator that assisted me with my decision. Stock tires were .75 inch shorter than the 6's in radius...

Running 305/35/24 on stock suspension and had to cut the hell out of my passenger side fender liner. I am going to keep the same size tire on my 24's with the 3/5 drop in a few weeks. I don't plan on any issues since Max is the shit at lowering these NNBS Tahoes. Going to ride like a dream instead of a rail car on a rail road clunking every few feet.

Something 30" to 31" works best or you really need to watch the offset. My truck dropped 5" up front and 5" in rear rubbed the plastic fender liners out back and hit the fenders up front with a 275/55/20 (32" tall). Bigger tires look better but if you're gonna slam it I'd run a narrower 31" tall tire to rest easier. Even before the spindles I would kiss the fenders with a 3" drop, rubbed all the paint off the front sway bar too.

im running 295/35/24 with no rubbing and no trimming. imo the 295/35/24 looks better. my fiance has a 08 with a 2/3 on 305/30/26 and that required a lot of trimming.

I've got 305/40/22 on my Denali and its lowered 4-5 in the front and 5 in the back...theres no rubbing at all in the back...but in the front, it rubs against the wheel-well at the firewall side...but not much at all though..

 

[G-NOTE]

You know its really going to come down to the offset, we are all talking about tire sizes, but we failed to mention offset, which plays a HUGE part in rubbing...

 

[G-NOTE]

The wheels are +25 offset on a 24" x 9.5" so i have opted to go with the 275/30r24 with the 3/5 drop...

I am pretty sure 305/35r24 will not fit...

On the Houston roads I'd be scared to bend up wheel with that small of a tire Gnote?
