eBay link selling my rims said Offset was 31. Don't know if it's right though : /

Yup, that's what ebay listings say on the CK375 as well.
I'm not sure how to calculate that though into the front rub equation.
What we have is one member that says that their 305/40/22s rub in the front and one that say they don't.
Just looking at the space between my front tire at full lock and the back trim, I have less than one inch clearance. I can't see the 305/40s not rubbing.
So we're back to the question ... would running 295/40/22s up front and 305/40/22s in the back cause any issues with the truck?

Won't that F up the tire rotation (not being able to rotate all 4)?

Well yeah ... no front to back rotation possible. But I would only run that setup with the nittos in the summer, so I'd anticipate the tires lasting longer than I own this truck.
What I'm trying to get input on is if such a setup can have a harmful affect on the truck.

Well BMW does it on their SUV's so I don't think that's even an issue. Except the whole tire rotation thing... which to you is obviously a non issue

Yeah but I can't tell if the BMWs have it set up so that there's no difference in circumference between back to front. They may have designed their SUV specifically to allow for staggering.
Truth is if I'm running this setup mostly in the summer I can leave the drive in 2WD 99% of the time and there'd be no issue.
Still ... it would be nice to have a definitive answer either way.

other than it looking like poop, I don't think there would be anything more harmful than that.

Do you really think a 10mm difference in tire width from back to front will make the truck look like poop?
