305/45/22 rub w/ 2" level? (OEM 22")

[mpthompson84]

looking at a set of 22x9" OEM replicas to go on my 2015 tahoe with 2" RC leveling kit. I like the stance of a wider tire but not sure if a 305/45/22 will fit without rubbing

Anyone run that setup who could comment? Pics?

Thanks!

Why not do a 305/40/22 should be fine

Was trying to get a little more rubber on the tire to better fill the wheel well and better protect the rim.

I have the same set up as do lots of folks but I’m lowered you may have to pull the inner fender liner back in a few spots but nothing major.

Is it the width or height that causes rubbing? Im 2" front lift level, not lowered. I could go a little narrower, just trying to avoid a low profile look. Guessing width on the OE replicas so maybe looking at a 295 or 285 would make more sense. Just want something a bit wider than my 275 stocks but taller to better fit with the "lift"

It’s partly the width and the offset of my wheels. They stick out the lower kick panel about an inch. Either way pulling the liner back in a few spots fixed any rubbing

I run 33x12.5x22 which i think are similar size with 2.5” front leveling kit on stock 22s and no rubbing.

i have 22x9.5 (+25 offset) running 305/45/22.
i am also lowered 2", i have slight rub at lock


i am thinking about wider rims @ 22x10 w/ 305/40/22 (its ~0.6" less rubber on 1 side)
looking to go w/ either 30 or 35 offset
