Awesome! I got 285/45/22 like you right now but will prob move onto the 305 for the wider stance after these wear down. Be sure to post some pics.

Check out mine 22's Trailblazer replica wheel wrapped in 285/45/33 Nitto 420's. Didn't really feel the ride change much at all. Tese wheels are Matte Black,but he also has them in Chrome, gloss black and Grey. Norcall SS will hook you up.

I just bought the 22" ss trailblazer replicas wheels for my 12' tahoe, I'm looking at tires, I like how you got your tahoe set up. Are you happy you went with the 285/45/22 tires, or do you think the 305/40 would look better?

^I need to upgrade from my stock 17's. And am curious also. FELIX, What's your argument for the wider 305's?

It's a wider and more aggressive stance and also handles better. Trust me when you get it you will agree :)

Thanks. Did you have 305's before your 285's that you like more and are switching back? Also do you have a lowering kit?

Yes sir I've had both and will never go back to 285's. The rest of my tires will be 305's. Nope my Esky is at stock height with the 305/40/22's.

My 305/40/22's are going on today. I too got the Nitto 420s. I previously had the stock 18" hybrid wheels with Bridgestone dueler 285s. Not sure of the width at this moment. I'll post pics and feedback on rude quality later today.

So I didn't notice any difference in ride quality. If anything, I'd say it was slightly better probably due to the old duelers. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1348179206.586223.jpg
