Ok so I dropped my Denali 2" in the front and 4" in the back; on top of that I have 22" wheels (285/45/22). Will I have problems in the winter time when snow comes? I really want to keep my setup year round.
Dropped with 22's in winter time?

remove your rims for stock ones. trust me unless you're a really really good driver on the snow.

Ask MAX! He runs 20's and his nali is slammed, 5/5 or 6/5 i believe and he lives in colorado!
Keep the wheels on you'll be fine, just clean them every week or so and don't let the salt/sand shit sit on them. I used to drive a lowered camaro and a mustang 5.0 in the snow here in Illinois (anywhere from 6-10" constantly). You'll be fine in the snow

Mine hold up fine, just push it a bit in an empty parking lot so you know what to expect. I rally the shit out of my truck all year w/o issue. Slow and steady, give yourself lots of room and you'll be fine
lol Almost fliped my Yukon in a parking lot at my college in CT. doing donuts in the snow....Long story short, I found a concrete tire stop....haha
I wouldn't worry about the finish on your wheels, just hose em off every once in awhile. The problem with running 22s is most tires that size have relatively shallow treads, which in turn fill with ice and snow quickly. Hope you enjoy ice skating. Running 20s is a fine alternative as there are plenty of more aggressive and even snow tires for that size. The other issue with running large rims in snow is its more than likely you will evently jump and curb, hit a park stop that you didn't see. And larger rims are generally easier to dent. Sucks trying to put on a spare on in freezing temps.

my boss(brand) 24s got eaten by the salt. i had an accident with my 24s on the snow couldn't stop the truck was slowly sliding up hill to a red light. my tires had about 70-65% thread left. if you are going to keep them on, do like max said give yourself a lot of room.

unless you got money to blow and time to kill, I'd say throw some stockers back on there. Thats what I plan on doin for my 24's. cuz like they all said youll have to keep them washed and there is a higher possibility of damaging a wheel.
