This setup looks so good. Can you post some more pics? Like some shots down the side and from the front and rear? I've got a set of 20s with 305/55s in my garage but these trucks look so Good with 22s that I'm rethinking my choices.

 

Here you go (FYI - I have no idea how to make the pictures show up as large images)

Thats good to hear. I wonder if 305 45 22s would still rub with my 2" level... when you are at full lock, and rubbing can u see if this looks like it would still be an issue if it was leveled?

 

I believe I've read that others are running 305/45/22s with a 2" level and had no rubbing. I looked last night and I don't see any signs of rubbing anywhere. There's no marks on the wheel liner or sway bar.

Thanks for the insight guys. So here's the bigger question. If you're running 305/45r22s with no level and no rubbing, how much larger could you go with a level? Any idea how much clearance you have? Wondering if I could fit the 285/50s which are 33.27.

How's noise and MPG's with those? I'm a daily driver but those look just aggressive enough to be cool AND useful.

I posted this pic a couple of pages ago. Running 305/45/22 Terra Grapplers with no change to the suspension. Only slight rubbing in reverse at full-lock. Rides a bit stiffer than stock, but it's not terrible. The sidewall on the 285/45/22s was just a bit too short for my liking.

 

22's with "I'm going off road" tires. Love it.

The 285/50/22 would fit easy, especially with a level. But unless you need a E rated tire, I'd probably just go with the 305/45/22. The 305 is less than .5" shorter and a little wider. Probably not noticeable to the naked eye, but is only LT rated so it would be lighter and ride better. If I go with 22s, thats the decision I'd make. The 305 is also quite a bit cheaper than the 285/50/22. Not sure if the extra .5" is worth the price premium.

 

The 285/55/22 would maybe fit on stock wheels with a 2.5" level, maybe need a little trimming or a small BL. It's about the same size as a 275/65/20 and lots of people fit those with just a level.

 

The 325/50/22 would be rubbing all over the place on stock wheels because of the width. Height might clear with a level and BL.

Thanks, those are perfect. If you get tired of them, I'm in NJ too. I've got a nice set of 305/55/20 Nitto Trail Grapplers and Procomp rims to trade!!!

They are XD series rockstar 2 rims. Look like 20 x about 10 with a heavy offset . Tires are a mud tire and probably 35's x 12.5 as they don't bulge much past the edge of the rims. I could be wrong but that is what it looks like to me. Looks like a six inch lift too.

Not sure if this dude is a member on here , but saw his setup and it was awesome.

 

Can you guys guess what size he's running?

 

I'm guessing 285/70-17 ? not sure if there's even a level kit

Can anyone spot this wheel set up? Rim & Tire. It's exactly what I'm looking for. Looks to be sitting on a 6" or 8" lift.

 

 

 

 

My guess is a 6-7" lift. I think the tire & wheel setup is 35x12.50x22 Nitto Trail Grapplers on 22x12 KMC Rockstar rims, probably with a -44mm offset.

Good looking truck and nice wheels. The 305/45/22 is 32.8 in diameter and the 285/45/22 is 32.2. That's about 9/16" total O.D. and only about 1/4" on sidewall height. I don't see how 1/4" would be too short for your liking or even noticeable by just looking at the tire. The 305 is a bit wider with a 12" tread width compared to 9.5" tread width on the 285. I think the 305 is a little too wide for factory 9" wheels on a stock suspension and is why they rub. The 305 is designed for a 10" rim and will give the "balloon" look on a 9" rim. I'd stick with the 285. I have similar wheels (CK159) instead of your CK158. I'm running Cooper Discoverer SRX 285/45/22. They fit the 9" wheels perfect, were road force balanced and ride great.

I keep going between the 285s and 305s also. Trying to decide given the price, I like the Nittos more (tread, etc) but they are also a lot pricier.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
