Will 305/45/R22's fit on a stock 2002 F150 supercrew

I got a great deal on 22 inch rims and now i am looking for a set of tires. I want to buy some Nitto 420s, but I want to know if 305/45/22 will fit or will I have to get 305/40/22's. I know there is no problem physically obstructing the rim. I mounted one and turned the wheel to both extremes. I am just wondering if anyone has similiar size tires on a similiar vehicle, expedition or F150 and if you have had any problem with tires rubbing. Thank you

DO you have a 4x2 or 4x4? Rockafella has a 4x4.

I have 305/35R24's on my truck, which are only .4" smaller in diameter than yours. Mine fit fine on my 4x2. I rub my front sway bar in a full on stop-to-stop turn, but that's the only problem I have.

I did level out the truck with new re-keyed torsion keys, but they fit before the kit was installed. A guy I work with has a 03 Harley Screw and his fit in front and in back with a 2" rear drop kit. You should be just fine. And as Dufunnel stated, mine do rub a little on the front sway bar, only when you max out your turn either way. That may or may not happen with yours depending on your rims back spacing.

My truck is a 2002 4x4 screw. I was thinking of dropping the rear with shackles. Is that alright to do with 4x4's? I just want it to sit level with no rake. I see beltech makes 2" and 1 1/2" drop shackles.

just raise the front a few inches by turning the torsion bar. That's what I did to level my 02 Screw 4x4. My front is about 1/2 inch lower than the front. Sits perfect. Before I did it my front was about 2 inches lower.
