How low can I go without rubbing????

[NAPLES_TAHOE]

I want to run 24" wheels. Which drop combo is the safest to go with where I won't have to trim or hammer on anything. What size tire is safe?

I know if I stay with a 22" wheel, the 305/40-22 seems to be a popular size.

Thanks!!!

Here's my experience if you do decide on 22's...

I'm down 2/3 with 22" CK375 rep's on 305/40/22 Toyo Proxes STII's and I rub the front inside edge of the rear liners under moderate rear suspension travel and the fronts just BARELY rub on both sides at full steering lock. I could probably massage the front liners using a heat gun and eliminate that. I hate rubbing, so when it comes time to replace my current tires, I'll more than likely go with 285/45/22's, which I believe would not rub at all.

This about sums it up. Even with a 2/3 you will likely get a little rub if you don't bend or cut a little something out of the way.

In a nutshell, you take a 2x4 and bend the metal behind the wheel back. If that's where you're rubbing, there's almost an inch of metal you can move

yes and turn the tire and let it suck the 2x4 in. This will clearance it back
