In trying to keep the same general diameter, what would be the widest tires for these rims without having to worry about rubbing? What series/sidewall do you experienced guys recommend?
I've been told by a tire shop that I would want to go with a 275/55-20 and a 275/45-22.
What do you guys think?

ive got pics of mine, which are 305/45/22s with no rubbing and 2/5 ground force lowering kit. The ride is fine, though i would have went with twenties and more tires if i could do it over.

I took a series of photos when I did my shackle install -- if you're interested in seeing them, drop me an e-mail and I'll pass them along.

Thanks
It may rub a litle but just because I once saw a mark in the chasis where the wheel could have made contact, but I don't feel anything while driving.
