Im able to get the escalade replicas 7 spoke in 22s or 24s for a good price and I'm not sure which one to go with. What would be my tire option for each size 305/45/22 and 305/45/24. I think the wheels are 9.5 wide but I'm not sure.

That's all you man. You're gonna get votes for both sizes. I personally like my 22s because I can run a little taller tire for comfort and still maintain my drop. Not sure you're gonna want to put a 45 series on a 24 if you plan on doing any kind of substantial drop. I have a 40 series on my 22s and it fits nice.

You need to look at a 285/40/24 or 295/40/24 though the most common size is 305/35/24. I'm pretty sure a 305/45/24 won't fit and the ones I mentioned may rub.

That width would be fine with a 35 series tire for the 24 but anything thicker you may run into problems

305/35/24 tires have plenty of side wall. Like 4.5".. Comfy ride and won't damage a rim unless u hit 12"deep pothole. I say 305/35/24, it's. Common size and easy to find for a good price.
