Can this damage my truck?

im thinking of running 305/45/22 in the rear and 275/45/22 in the front. i have a 2wd stock height, would i need to get a leveling kit ffor the front?
or would this be bad for my truck running differnt tire sizes?
i have 08 harley 22's, anybody know what the offset on them are?
Thanks guys.

I wouldnt do it. Im not sure what problems it would cause, but it seems to be just asking for trouble to me. Usually its the other way around...people run two different size wheels with the tires being different sizes to balance it out.

Besides, I think it would be a very noticiable difference between a 275 in the front and the 305 in the back and would look kinda tacky...

Running different size tires on different axles will not hurt your 2wd truck. Even if you had a 4wd as long as they were the same diameter it would be ok.

Why not just run 305-45-22 all around and you wouldn't have to worry about problems?

I'd install a set of lowering shackes and run 305/40-22's or 305/45-22's. Why do you want to run different size tires?

why not you ask? because i read, or i keep reading may i say, that to fit 305's in the front on a stock 2wd you would need a leveling kit. if this is the case i guess i would have to do the leveling kit first right guys?
thanks for the responses guys.

If you use a proper wheel (9.5 inches wide with 6.5 to 7 inches of backspacing) you can easily fit 305/40-22's or 305/45-22's up front. Never lift a truck to fit a street tire, that's for Donks.
