Do most run with a 305/40 on the 22x10.5’s? How about when lowered?

has anyone mounted a 285/40 on the 22x10.5’s?

Most people run a 305/40 at stock height.
305/35 is the go to for lowered cars

I have the same setup. General G-Max tires. I haven’t noticed any issues. I’d prefer 35 but didn’t want to run Lionhart or Lexani or the like.

If you're up for uploading them, no biggie. You having any issues with a 32 offset? From what I got reading this thread, everyone is going with 30.

Toyos tend to run on the narrow side. You’re much more likely to get away with a 305/40/22 that way. A Continental might be a whole different story.

Just for a data point, my General G-Max 305/40/22 aren’t rubbing. Steeda springs. General is owned by Continental… no idea if they’re manufactured to similar specs.

I doubt any tire rubs on Steeda springs. They barely lower the car. lol
