No input for tires, but are those the aftermarket mirrors with the blinkers and heat? Or did you just swap out the reflector ?

I had 265/35/22 front/305/40/22 rear of my '85 C10. Now I have 295/35/22 on the rear. Truck is about 3 inches off the ground. 4link with QA1 coilovers in the rear. Way better ride over flipped axle and leaf springs. Finding a staggered tire in the same thread pattern is a pita...

Nope, plain Jane xl mirrors I painted to match my truck.

But you have clear reflectors. Where did you get them?

I hear ya, I just want enough meat to keep from bending my wheels and wide enough to tuck in when my rear end flexes.

Yeah all these newer trucks have the wheel offset to the outside of the rim, my rims have about 5/32" of room inside with the lips rolled. I think I have about 1/2 inch of tire showing above the rim in the rear. I liked the 305/40 a lot, I believe it was an older Nitto that isn't available anymore.

My wheels are 22x9.5 with a 34mm offset. I'm thinking about running a 265/40 but I still don't know.

That depends on where you drive it I guess. The side wall isn't going to be very tall at all :/ mine aren't. Theres a lot thinner though I guess. But mines a toy, to pick on ricers, Mustangs and Camaros lol. Haven't ever really driven anywhere with big holes. On the highway the 265/35 isn't bad at. But I don't know how much of a pothole it could take. the 40 wouldn't be much more really. Honestly, I got a few different cheap tires of craigslist. Some were in pairs and some singles. I mounted them myself just to get an idea of what I wanted to run.

I was riding on some 285/35/22s when I had my limited 22s and I loved them bro they go perfect with a 4/6 4/7 and 5/7 drop
