What tire sizes for 22/24? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I think we decided on a 255/30/22 front and 275/30/24 rear. I was talking to my suspension guy, guy that bagged it, and if I did the 265/35/22 then a good matching sidewall height rear tire was too tall. These sizes we decided on put us at 28dia front and 31.5 rear.

I am running 22x8.5 in front with 235/30-22 and 24x10 in rear with 275/30/24. Those two profile match and both sizes have very little sidewall.

Do you have a pic?

I would go with 265/30/22 up front and 285/30/24 or 295/30/24(not cheap) out back. The overall diameter would be 28.26 and 30.73. A 275/30/24 looks too stetched on a 24 in my opinion. I'm running 265/30/22 toyo and 285/30/22 yokohamas on my smoothies.

That 295 is about 12 inches wide, too wide for me. 9.5 front amd 10in wideback wheel.

Here you go. the gentleman was correct in saying these are close to rubber bands. Past 30" of height I think the tires would be above the bed sides if laying frame.

Is that both 24, or the 22 mounted and 24 standing? It's hard to tell on my phone in the pic. These sizes are tiny, the 22 shows 3in and the 24 shows 3.25 sidewall height. As far as what has been measured by the suspension guy, I have 32in before I go over my bedside, but I'll lay out and measure again. Can I get more info on your truck? Wheel backspace and stuff? As far as mine I'd like to run the 24x10, 5.91 +12 wheel out back. I have the 5lug 71-72 rear.

That's a lot for the help guys.
