Question Anyone running big-n-littles?

I've been reading about some of the rubbing issues. Pretty soon I'll be installing my 2/5 drop, and was initially going to run 305/45-22's (32.9").

However, I'm now leaning towards running 275/45-20's (29.7") up front and the 22's in the rear. I've always likes hot rods, and the big-n-little, if done properly, can look nice and give a nice rake.

Anyone running this, and if so, you have any pictures?

I ran 305/45/22"s with a 2/5 drop and had no rubbing issues.

I would suggest a 285/40/22 and if you want the "hot rod look as I have always called it" you can go with a 265/40/22 front and the 285/40/22 rear

Yeah, I'm running 22's with a 2/4.5 drop, but even with the rear airbags all the way down to 5PSI for a 5.5" drop in the rear there's no rubbing at all.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was more concerned with the rubbing up front than the rear. Just trying for somwthing a little different that what you typically see.

I guess no one's actually running a setup like this...makes me want it even more.

Still trying to find a local shop that has the two size tires in stock so I can visually see the difference in size to make sure it's the look I'm after. I just can't believe that a city the size of Charlotte doesn't have anyone that stocks the size tires I'm after (275/45/20 & 305/45/22).

You have to find a wheel and tire shop. Your local tire kingdom, etc. is not going to stock those sizes.
