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 agree that the difference in sidewall and OD is minimal, but I wanted a little something extra all around. I have 285/45/22s on my lowered Tahoe and love the way they look. However, these trucks have a completely different look than Tahoes, so I don't mind the extra bulge around the rim (I know exactly what you're talking about. I saw that size on a Tahoe and thought they looked like balloons).

 

Very nice ride, by the way. I was debating between the CK158s and CK159s. You can't go wrong with either.

Thanks for the compliment bud. I was debating on the 158s and 159s myself. Ditto that, can't go wrong with either.

Has anybody had the Wheel Theft Deterrent System (Tilt Sensor) installed on their 2014? Looks like a great add on. Shows that is is available for up to 2014 Sierras.

 

Any info on installation and dealer reprogramming would be greatly appreciated if anyone has had this done!

Anybody running 0 offset wheels with 33x12.50's and have a 2.5" leveling kit and no rubbing? I have the 2" kit and rub at full lock in reverse. I know some people zip tied part of the liner. Would the extra .5" spring spacer eliminate the rubbing or should I use the zip ties? If any of you have used the zip ties can you post a pic of where you used them? Thanks in advance!

I did something a lil different today. I went with a 285/50-22 terra grappler. Its aprox 33.3".only rub i had is against my front mud flap at full lock in reverse. I trimmed aprox 1inch square and all is well. Love the stance now. Much better than my old 305 40 22s
