Lowered guys what size tires you runnin

I'm getting kinda tired of my 275/45 22x9.5's I wanna drop the truck another inch and switch to 265/35-22x9.5's up front and 305/35-23x10's out back what all are you runnin. rim depth and backspace would help too

heres those 275/45-22's with a 2/3 beltech drop

I could go 24s out back but then I might not be able to drop the back anymore..... I would be filling up the rear wheel wells more tho. my goal is to have the lowest static drop that's still drivable. I can't quite afford air like drew.

My being on air has nothing to do with your goal. Why ask a question and then give your own solution?

alright I did some more math I'm going to sell the rims and tires I got and I'm going to go with 305/35/23s up front and 315/35/24s out back. I'm happy with how the truck sits in the front but I want to close the gap just a hair in the back... this should do it

too much rake and I'd have to drop the front like 2 inches unless I run a thicker tire up front plus 3 of my rims are curbed anyway, if I have to buy 3 new rims and 4 new tires anyway what's another rim right?
