Suggestions on tire size with porterbuilt

Hello all, I'm running full porterbuilt extreme front and back. It's time to get tires for the truck. I'm running the gm transits, as far as I know they are 22x9 with 6 back spacing. Any suggestions on tire size. I am not good at all sizing tires and could use some help here to keep me from ordering multiple tires. Thanks for the help in advance guys

Hey there! I would play musical tires at the tire shop, most of them will work with you on that if it means a sale. They may also have a tire sizing tool which most tire shops have. It helps them determine exact tire size by bolting it to your lugs and measuring the entire area.

The dropmember is designed to lay frame up to a 28 inch tall tire.If your running any spacer or adapters for those wheels that can change things.

Re: Suggestions on tire size with porterbuilt

I have the extreme front and rear drop members as well and I'm running a 285/30/24 out back which is around 30.7" tall and a 265/35/22 up front which is right about 29.3" tall. I have issues with my front tires hitting my hood but my truck is body dropped as well.
