so the 305/45r22 on a 9inch rim will not be an issue? i don't want any rubbing issues, nor due i want to install a levelling kit...you're telling me these tires on these wheels will fit fine with no problems at all?

4x4 or 4x2? I don't remember if both were offered with the limited.

you will have plenty of room if it's 4wd, i had that same setup a few years ago and there was no chance of rubbing

you could go with 285/50/22 Nitto Terra's if you wanted to, it's a hair shorter and a hair wider and it still wont rub

285/50/22= 32.81 tall x 12.01 wide
305/45/22= 33.22 tall x 11.22 wide

305/45/22= 33.22 tall x 11.22 wide
how is the 285/50/22 wider than the 305/45/22?

actual measurements are
285/50/22 = 33.22 in tall x 11.22 in wide
305/45/22 = 32.80 in tall x 12.00 in wide

making the 285/50/22 .42 inches taller and .78 inches slimmer than the 305/45/22

thanks a lot for the info guys! mine is a 4x4. guys up here tell me that the terra grapplers aren't very good in the winter, also, they tell me that they wear really fast... i need an a/t tire that's good in the winter!! i think i have it narrowed down to the pirelli scorpion atr's or toyo open country a/t's...thoughts?

There are a lot of posts on here complaining about the performance of the Pirelli ATR's. The Nitto Terra Grapplers and Toyo AT's are basically the same tire and both are worlds better than the Pirelli ATR.
