Any of you running a 31" tall tire up front with 4.5" drop? Want a little more side wall so looking at 285-40.

Re: 285-40-22 Up Front

That's a big tire for the front. I'm running that size on the rear of my truck and it really fills up the wheel well. Below is a pic comparing my front 265/35r22s and rear 285/40r22s. I think you'd be fine to run that size but it might look a little funny (to me it would anyway). I did quite a bit of searching and research on tire sizes before I ordered mine and didn't see anyone running something that big on the front. The biggest I saw was a 265/40r22 which looked pretty good.
