... maybe someone with 22x9 rims and 305/35/22 tires with an nnbs hoe/yuk can chime in about rubbing issues
lol Felix, you're confusering me.
305/35/22s won't rub as there's less sidewall ... you mean someone with 305/45/22s can let us know right?

Ahh that was a typo on my part. I meant to put the 305/45/22 right there sorry for the confusion! I edited the post to avoid further confusion.

My 420 in the rain were great. Not to mention i have 4 people, Gear and towing a trailer with 2 hayabusa in it. I went with 285 because the wider you go, the more the tire wants to follow Grooves and ruts. They can also be a bit louder. I know my set gonna last me a long time as when winter comes, ill swap over to the winter rims.

I'll take the risk of running the 305's. I like the wider stance of the 305's when looking at it from the back.. looks "meaner".

LOL- i've been on the grind trying to find more info on this exact thing before I pull the trigger on these Nitto NT 420S tires.. I found a set shipped for 720 of the 305/40/22 and will buy those but i'd love the extra sidewall height if I can fit the 305/45/22...
Yup, and I keep looking at my wheel wells, scratching my head, with a mongoloid stare, trying to figure out what will fit.
Just looking at it, I got so little room left at full lock between the edge of the tire and the inside trim, that I can't see the 45s being able to work. Now I'm even worried about the 40s, cause even though they have a smaller circumference than the stock spec tires we are running now, they are so much wider that they might rub.
Oh won't someone think of the children and help us?
