Cuzin bought a 05 Crew Cab...he recently put 22's on it and was wondering about clearence on a 3/5 around corners,bumps, Etc Etc.... i think the tire is 275/40 or 285/40....let me know!....

 

correction tire is 305/40 !

 

I think that clearance will be an issue that is a wide tire on an 20 inch rim. 22 will make that 305 even greater. what is the backspacing on the rims. If it is a 5.5 you might be ok. But still think that for sure it will rub with that 305 and the 3/5 drop. I would do 2/4

 

Just read that its a crew, so I think that it helps it out in that respect. They come a little taller.

 

Probably gonna rub. Tires are too tall.

 

it will rub for sure. And i would never try and put a 5" drop on the rear of these trucks... it rides like crap and it's way too much of a hassle and it still won't sit level.


even if it was a 265/40 on a perfect backspacing 22, it might still rub... now a 2/4 on the other hand MIGHT work, but check out the backspacing first.

 

5" in the rear rides better than 4" if you get a notch.

A friend of mine runs 265/35-22's on a 2/4 and he couldn't run any taller of a tire.

 

If you achieve a 5" drop with drop leafs i dont understand how you could think the ride quality is better than a 4" drop which retains stock springs.

And i have a 2/4 on my NBS RCSB with 22" and im running a 265/40/22 tire, so i dont understand how your friend couldnt have atleast run that size.

That tire size with that much a drop will rub for sure

 

A 5" with stock springs and a notch will ride better than 4" with stock springs and no notch.

A 5" with drop springs and a notch will ride better than 4" springs with no notch.

Get it now?



You have more backspacing then he does. Understand now?

 

yes i do, thanks for clearing that up for me
