RAFA26, getting new wheels and tires...
I am selling my 24" wheels and tires and i'm thinking about a set of 22" Archer II from Centerline wheels and Nittos NT420s 285/45/22.

Have you considered, Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico or Yokohama Parada Spec-X? I think BF G offers the g-Force Sport in that size too.

Although I don't have the HP you're running, I have the NT420Ss on my truck too. The 285/45 x 22 is 11.2 inches wide and provides pretty good hookup for me when playing around.
The benefit you'll see from the 45 profile is the softening of the ride a bit compared to the 30-35 series tires. I felt it was a good compromise of ride vs. all-out performance. The 420s look really good too.
The NT420S is 32.09 inches tall, and should work well with your 4.56 gears. They are also rated for "mud & snow", but I wouldn't expect studded snow tire performance out of them.....
The wheels look very nice, but I don't know much about them. I'm guessing that a reduction in weight with great quality is your reason for switching. Perhaps you're planning on lowering your truck a bit???? With 22's, you'll have many more tire options down the road.
Unless you're looking for a dedicated strip tire, I think you'll be happy with this choice.
That's one hell of a truck you're finishing up!
