Default Anyone running 305/45-22's on a lowered nnbs?

I've ordered my 3/5 kit and on the waiting list for the 22x9 tbss wheels(+22offset)

I've been racking my brain looking at picture after picture trying to decide on a tire size. If I go un staggered I will just go 305/40's all around but I REALLY like the staggered look so I can't decide whether to go with
285/45 fr
305/45 rr
or
285/40 fr
305/40 rr
or even
305/40 fr
305/45 rr

I really like how beefy jb's truck looked at 4-7 with 285/45 all around so that's what is sparking my interest on the taller setup

does ANYONE have a picture of a lowered nnbs with 305/45's at least on back

My 295/45/22's almost rub on my truck without a any drop up front... I should have bought 285/45/22...

go with

285/45 fr
305/45 rr

i was a 275/45/22 on a 22x10 w/ 30+ on a 4" up front, don't see why a 22x9 22+ would be an issue...

^That would be my suggestion too; tire heights are nearly identical. Out of curiosity, does the shorter tire wear out faster in staggered situations?

I would only run the 305/45's on back which shouldn't have any rubbing issues

i'm 275 in the front and 305 45 in the back. I'm only lowered 3/5 I think with 22 boss'. Not a bad look, and has a little lean on it. I think if the front was lower a few inches it'd be perfect.

Here's mine with a 4/7 drop with 305/40/22's all the way around. Hope this helps some.
