285/40/22 tires on 3/6 drop. Will it rub?
So I'm wanting to lower my truck either 3/5 or 3/6 (possibly 4/6) and I know most people run a 35 series tire, but I like a little more sidewall and was hoping to run 285/40/22.
Would I be able to run a 285/40/22 on any of those drops? Is anybody running or know somebody that has that setup?
I'd be ok with a little rubbing just as long as I'm able to successfully make a U-turn on the road
It's an 06 Sierra crew cab.

Ya man those new body styles got some big *** wheelwells
I might just bite the bullet and go 285/35/22. I'm just paranoid of potholes.
Hopefully I'll have it dropped around Christmas time.

I'm running 285/35r22s on rims with a +30 offset and had to roll the rears slightly and the fronts rub the inner fenders on large bumps. It's on a 04 CCSB with a 3/5. The backs are not the big issue but the front fender wells have an odd shape to them that you may be able to hammer out I just have gotten around looking at them close enough to figure out if they have anything behind them to be concerned with.

I don't know what I want to do. I mean it looks good stock height, but I sure love a low truck. Plus the previous owner had it notched so it's ready to go down whenever.
I just don't want to have to worry about rubbing all the time.
