Default How big can i go?

Just lowered my back end with the djm lowering shackles. How big of a tire and rim can I go? 305/50 20 or 305/40 22??? Let me know if y'all have any rubbing issues...

Well unless you have a programmer that does speedo adjustments for tire size you should try to keep the same outside diameter. If you keep the outside diameter you can go as big as tire limitations, but as the sidewall gets smaller expect ride quality to diminish.

No, I'm not worried about that. Just want to fill the wheel wells. I know now I can run 305/45 22 but I'm wondering about 305/50 22 and want to see pics.

In general. I HATE lowered trucks.

It looks well rounded and well planned out. Not just someone wanting to be different. It does look clean and tasteful
