hmmmmmm not a big fan of poke.. So maybe the SRT8 wheels r the way to go. I luv the looks of the others better have large dish on them. Love some deep dish wheels. Wonder if they would have much poke with 265 or 275's?

 

OK HERE YOU GO
STOCK SIZE TIRES 265/50/20= 30.81" tall x 10.81" wide tire
265/40/22= 30.64"tall tire X 10.81" wide tire (ALMOST SAME EXACT AS STOCK less than 1/4" shorter these wont stick out at all on a 30 offset rim!!!
275/40/22= 30.97"tall tire X 11.63" wide THESE WILL STICK OUT a 1/2-3/4" on a 30 offset rim
285/40/22=31.304" tall X 11.63" wide THESE WILL STICK OUT a 1/2-3/4" on a 30 offset rim

so 265 on 9.5" wide will sit flush according to the info?

thanks

 

a 35 backspace wheel would be better but 5mm is nothing .20" so less than a 1/4"
The added 3/4" or so of width of the 275 and 285 is what kills you if you dont want them sticking out.

Ok so with the 265 it will still sit flush with fender and not a lot of poke? That's all I am concerned with.. Thanks so much for your time.

I did some research as well before purchasing... 275/40-22 Nitto NT-420S - 30.67'' OD & Overall width 10.71'' ... choose your tire then choose your size... good luck!

 

Also you really shouldn't be too concerned with poke on something this wide and tall it's not like your going to be running a 11'' or 12'' wide wheel. Unless you choose to go with a 225/35 lol!!

 

The formula for calculating tire actual size from Michelin

First number/24.5=WIDTH ACROSS TREAD So 275/24.5= 11.22" wide
Take that number X the aspect ratio: 11.22 X .40=4.49
That is sidewall height so 4.49 X 2 + Rim diameter = rolling height
4.49 X 2 = 8.98 + 22 = 30.98"
so 11.22 wide X 30.98 high

Take a pic straight on CMIL of you dropping a string straight down from fender to touch tread, you tires are out just a bit

I have 285s and they tuck perfectly when I lower truck down.

 

That would be correct because as the suspension compresses the top of the tire goes in.
And what are the specs on your rims?
