Leveled on 22s?

RobertPaulsen · July 12, 2020

I've been searching far and wide both here, YouTube, and various other sites. To find a consistent accurate answer has deemed impossible. I have an 18 silverado, leveled 2.5 in front, 1 in back, stock 22inch black pack wheels ( 24mm offset, 5.94mm backspace.) I'm looking for the largest tire that will fit, I will trim/ tie back felt if need be. I've seen a lot of reviews of 285 55 22 which looks significantly better then 285 45 22 stock tires, but it leaves much to be desired. Has anyone tried a 295 55 22, or prolly more common 35 12.5 22? Reviews and videos on youtube show 35 12.5 fitting with minor rub on UCA or sway bar. It seems that all 35x12 5 rub, but I dont believe I've ever seen a 295 55 22 review, which seems to be the balance of size and width that appeals to both sides of the spectrum. Whats the consensus here? Hard to find an answer with a 22inch wheel.

Are you sure you've seen 35x12.5R22 ?? I see 33x12.5 all the time and have read they will rub with a level but not bad.

I'm in this very situation myself and looking to go back to 20's because finding a 33" in a 22 dia without going load E seems impossible.

If you youtube leveled silverado on 35s/ silverado 35 12.5 22, or something along those lines you will find several videos of people doing detailed videos and showing where they have to zip tie felt back, where a slight rub will happen on a control arm if the sidewalls are aggressive and what not. They look great honestly.

Update, put 35s on today, only rubs inner felt behind the wheels, will zip tie it back and no rubbing at all.
