What's up everyone!

Been a minute since Ive stopped in, as things have been pretty smooth with the Tahoe. Ive driving it on the 24s after we did a 3/5 drop on it and loved it and it got tons of compliments but it was time to go a different route and start having some more fun with this build and stop using it day to day.

I sold the 24s to a buddy with a stock height Yukon as I HATED how much the Tahoe felt like it gained so much weight. As time went on through summer ive wanted to build it for speed more than cruising. When I traded him, he had his Yukon on a set of Jeep Wagoneer 22s (Picture below for reference) and honestly, it looked pretty good on his so I decided to take those and cash on his end.

When I got them from him we had lowered my rear more as well as notched it and made a couple small adjustments to make sure everything cleared in the rear and got some strut extenders added in the rear as well. I started looking at the 22s and realized they had wayyyy too big of tires on them to work with my drop. So currently I am going to buy a fresh all season tire for them and rock them for a temp option while I save for the tires and wheels I want long term. (way more pricey lol)

So my main question is what tire SIZE you guys recommend as right now the stock 20s are 275/55/r20s and I can see that they will hit on the back very very slightly so I wanted to go to a smaller tires and been doing a couple days of studying using tire size.com to use my current set up to figure out what wheel id like and want to get more feed back on the tires as I want to get it right once.

This is what I came up with, any feed back from the tire pros is appreciated! (Pic with stock wheels is how it currently is)

Not sure what you are asking for here.

On my 2007 Yukon XL Denali, with an OEM suspension, I run a 305/50x20 tire size with no issues.

My first preference is a 285/40/22 on my 4/6 dropped Burb.

I switched up to a 305/40/22 and it rubbed like crazy, to the point of me lifting the truck back up to a 2/4 drop to alleviate the rubbing.

I currently am running a 275/45/22 and back down to 4/6 drop.

Not the best Pic for showing the tires but this is the 275/45/22s and 4/6 drop.
