right now i have 22x8.5 wheels with 265/35/22 tires. the rear are getting done to 22x10 and im not sure which size tires i need in the rear. id like to keep them the same height or SLIGHTY bigger. ive been recommended different sizes by everyone. 285/35 295/30 295/35 305/30 315/30 which one is it? keep in mind id like them not to be crazy expensive either....

The ? is are you going to be able to tuck anything bigger then a 295/30? I would go with a 295/30. should be around same size. Cant go wrong w/either 285/35 or 295/30.

I would go with a 285/35R22. I have 285/35R22's on my 22x10's Asantis and they fit fine. I think overall diameter is 29.8 inches.

Here are a few pics. Sorry they arent that good, crappy camera.

personally I am a fan of skinnyish up front and fat in the rear. I think a 265/35 in the front and a 305/40 in the rear would look killer

no way in hell a 305/40 going to tuck in the back of laynlows' truck. If you want wider then do a 285/35.

If you have to have a 35 series tire, you'll probably need to go 285, but if a 295 will fit, it will match your front tire better. My cousin is running a 255/35 front on a 22x8.5, and a 285/30 on a 22x10 rear.
