That's a small sidewall IMO. Maybe a 40 series? Your side wall will be 99.75 mm (35 series) vs. 114 mm (40 series). A decent size pothole at a good speed will do a number on it if hit just right. Again, this is just my $.02.

 

this is Amerrrica Derek!
lol

that is a pretty small sidewall..

285/35r22 = 29.85in tall

285/40r22 = 30.98in tall

285/45r22 = 32.1in tall 5.05in sidewall
^probably too big

 

Okay, I'll look into it. Thanks!

 

Whatever. I'm used to the metric system because of engineering!

*off-note* I have a 7 in sidewall.....

 

I seen a chevy stepside regular cab on 22". Tire was 305/40/22. Would I rub with a 2-3/4 drop?

 

hmm thats a 31.61in tall tire....i have a 29.74in tall tire and have PLENTY of room, i dunno about if i went 2 inches bigger tho..

 

I'll go with the 285/40/22 then. Also, where does everyone buy their tires at? Onlinetires can get me tires and shipped for $550ish.

 

discount tire for me. my 255/70R16 Michelin Latitudes were $185/ea. 80K mile tires, with an overall rating of 8.5/10

 

You have these Raptor?

Also, I found some 22x8 and 22x7.5, does that matter much?

 

Yup. They are A+ all-season highway tires. really quiet, with EXCELLENT dry and wet traction. ride is comfortable and since my truck is white i run with the white-letters on the outside

 

Nice. I found some rims for around $900, but they are 22x7.5, how would that look on my truck?

 

that should be fine. stock is only 6 or 7...dont remember

i think my 20s are 8" wide..

 

Do they stick out much? I don't want mine to look thin on my truck.

 

mine dont stick out at all, they have a close to stock offset so that theyll tuck into the fenders...

but they dont look thin. they look wider and a lot better than stock

 

Alright, I'll have to check my tires out once I get my truck back.
