285/35/22 on a 2/4 drop

 

285/35/22 with 5/7 drop.

 

265/35/r22 3/4 drop 300lbs in and i rub the finders

 

I'm running a 285/35r22 on a 9.5" wide wheel with a 3/6 drop with no problems. The critical number is going to be backspacing of the rim to ensure they don't rub.

 

How do you figure the backspace? I have 22 rockstars but im not to sure i can lower it 2/4 without hitting the bed...

 

On a my 9.5" wide rim the offset was 35 which is about 1.38". I you look at your offset and plug in the right numbers it should be the offset plus half of the rim width and you will also have the front side spacing as well. In my case 1.38"+4.75"=6.13" of backspacing and 3.37" between the rims mounting face to the fender. add a little tire to that and I would say as long as you are 3.4" or less you should be good for clearance.

 

I really want to go to a 4/6 drop again but if I look down the side of the truck now it looks like it won't tuck without me grinding the bedsides/finders to clear... I know I'm goin to have a lower profile tire but I hate to have to buy new wheels... I donno if anyone knows if I can do it or not but any help would be great... Thanks

 

What's the offset of your Rockstars? If the offset is +12 there is no way, but if they are the +38 offset I say you should have no problems with clearance.

 

Well after looking on KMC's web site it looks like they are a +38 off set because the only other off set is the +12 and I know they are not that because they don't stick out as far as the 4X4 guys trucks... I may be carzy but it just doesn't look like they would tuck. Thanks for all your help!
