07 Nbs Gmc Sierra 22'? Which Ones?

[stephenson121588]

I have a 2007 Gmc SLT and I am about to invest in 22's I am think about a 305/40/22 tire? should it be ok or will it rub? i would like to go to a 305/45/22 but i heard you would have to cut some of the fender plastic out? Also i get around 16 mpg in town 21 highway will going to 22's hurt that much? also I am looking at the Vagare Smack 6 wheels? I cant find specs as far as weight? is there a company out there that offers a light 22'' rim? thanks !! much help is needed

I have a 2008 silverado and run 22x9.5 rims with 305/40 and have had zero problems. I think the 305/45s would be close but would probably end up rubbing. I raised the front of my truck 1.5 inches and with my 22s I get about 15.5 mpg and maybe 16-17 on the highway. Here are some pictures of my truck/rims.

 

 

 

This one is before the 1.5 lift in the front

I really like those rims!! what brand are they? and did u have to lift your front 1.5 for the 22's to fit? or did u do it for looks?

They will look great on the truck but you will likely lose a couple of MPG. Wider and heavier tire/wheel combo robs fuel economy. I lost abuot 1.5 MPG highway when I went to 20s from the OEM 17s. I think it's worth it myself.

The brand is Granite Alloy and they did not rub at all with everything stock, I raised the front or leveled the truck for the look.

if i raised the front with the 2" leveling coil spacers..will i be able to fit the 305/45/22? i know the 40's will work but i would like to get a little more rubber if possible..
