Default Sierra Denali Tires Rubbing

Tried searching, but could not find a definitive awnser about my set up. I currently am running 22" rims with 305/45R22 tires. Unfortunately, they seem to be rubbing when making any sharp turns. This is my first time dealing with this issue and I am relatively new to trucks. BTW, the tires were on the truck when I bought it. I could use help. What is the best soloution for this setup? Thank you!

Tire model and brand? Although tires will call out the same size some brands and then even some models of tires will have different diameters. So some 305/44r22 tires may rub and others might not.

tire rack is a good place to look up specs on individual tire sizes.

They are Goodyear Fortera SL's. I read that 305/40/22 are the largest without issues. Is this a true statement?

Also, there is no drop on the truck. I'm going to take it to this spot down the road that deals with truck customizations. I'll see what they have to say.

yes 305/40 or 32" tire is the biggest you can run stock height or a little drop and sometimes they still rub... a 305/45 is a 33" tire, you would need a slight lift to fit those properly imo..

This is the tire size I run dropped. I tried the 45 and if I only drove in a straight line they would have been perfect!
