22" Wheel Setup Questions

I have a 2017 Suburban with the factory 20s (275/55/20 tires), and looking to run a set of black 22inch GM snowflake wheels. I've seen a few pics of those wheels and they always looks a little too narrow and "tucked in" to the wheel wells (pics attached) which seems to make the ride look top-heavy. I don't know the offset of the wheels or tire sizes in the pics, but Custom Offsets seems to want to recommend anything from a 305/45 to 285/45, and they offer the wheel itself in 22x9. I'd like a good full wheel with a wide stance and no rubbing.

 

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

285/45/22 is what they come stock with if they have 22s.

Appreciate the feedback. Do you happen to know if you can really fit a 305 on that kind of a setup without rubbing?

A lot of people do run 305s, so I would assume it is ok. Some big name tire shops won’t mount 305s tho.

305/45 r22 is better for a 10" rim
id stick w/ the 285

plus like kwOH said...most shops wont install if rim is outside manufacturer specs now

Thanks for the feedback. The owner (dealership) of the ride in the pics replied and said the tires are 285/45/22s. Am I the only one who thinks they looked tucked in and the ride appears top heavy on those?

Maybe in pics, I can see what your talking about, but 285s are fine, and as far a top heavy, thats just wheel gap, you can always lower it.

Appreciate the feedback. I'm beginning to think it's just how the 22s look to me and now I'm leaning towards 24s. Visually they just seem to work better due to the size of the vehicle IMO.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
