I put 285/75/16 BFG M/Ts about 2 years ago and they clear no prolblem. The 305/45/22 are 1/4" shorter but almost an inch wider then the 285s. I have already bought the rims and the offset and the backspacing is right for my truck. I was wondering if anyone knew if the wider tires will rub when i turn sharp?

 

First off welcome to the forum!!!

How are the 305s shorter? 285 would be a 33 305 would be a 35. Do you have lift on your truck?

 

315 and 325 are actually much closer to 35". I thought 305 was 35" for a long time too, but its almost exactly 34".

Tire Conversion

 

Actually we are both wrong 325 is closer!! 305 is 34.2, 315 is 346, 325 is 35.19!
Lol if you wanna ge technical.

 

Nope, I stated that both were closer than 305; I didn't think it was necessary to mention that 325 was the closest.

 

I know i was just joking man! Why can't they just make all tires in english instead of metric!

 

As was I, hehe. Sadly, everything seems to be in metric on these vehicles. It's ridiculous.

 

I have a 95 and half the stuff is metric and half english!

 

The will fit. That is the same size I have on my '07 Tahoe. Being the same basic front clip I have to imagine that they would fit the same.

 

I do not have a lift on my truck, but i am thinking i might have to put a leveling kit on the front end to clear the new tires. On the specs for the 305/45/22 Nitto Dunegrapplers i am looking at buying are 32.72" high and 12.05" wide. The specs on my BFG 285/75/16 M/Ts are 33.1" tall and 11.3" wide. The only problem I have with the 285s rubbing is they sometimes hit the rubber front inner fender wells when I am turning sharp and the susp. is flexed.
