I don't know all the tire sizes for 22s, but I would say a 275 section width would be the smallest for a 10" wheel. I have seen 285/35/22 tires so I know that is an option. Whats the reason for a small tire? Do you have a low drop or plan to bag?

02blue, I was planning on doing a 4/6. I was going to run the stockers, but I still have my SS replicas just sitting in the basement. I would like to use them, but dont know if I can get a small enough tire on them for the drop I want to do with the new truck.

Ive seen a lot of guys with 265's for 22's and 4/6 but the wheels are usually not as wide.

Yea, most guys are running 265/35/22s and depending on the wheel, there may still be some minor rubbing. They are also using a 22x9 wheel.

I actually just looked at Nitto's site and they say their 265/35/20 will fit up to a 10.5 rim. Personally I think it may be a little narrow for the rim, but it will fit.

thanks 02blue, I agree with you on the tire being to narrow for the rim. I dont really like that look, but if it makes things fit its worth a try.
thanks for the research.
