So my truck currently has a western chassis 5/7 drop kit with air lift helper bags on it, I thought about bagging it but with the towing I do I am just gonna keep it static but I want to put some big rig 22's on it. Not sure if I am gonna stretch the fenders or what yet to get them to fit width wise.

My question is with big rig wheels whats the biggest tire can I run on the front with rolled fender lips? I want to run the Nitto dune grapplers but the smallest they make them in is 305/40R22 that measure 31.75 tall or 285/45R22 at 32.05 tall and I am guessing that is gonna be way to tall...

On a Chevy you are going to have to stay in the 265/35/22 with that drop. You can sometimes run a 265/40/22 with minor rubbing.

Yeah sorry mine is a 95 chevy by the way, so a P265/35R22 on front is all ok well so much for that tire choice Well humm, any one tried running bigger? I mean I wonder if I could do it with some trimming, or would I have to ditch inner fenders all together and do a boat fender set up...

As for what I have on there I already know what it translates to in a 22 tire, thats not what I was wondering but thanks anyhow.

Humm anyone running a bigger tire on a static drop, if so what did you do????

Your problem is going to be fender clearance when turning. You can run a bigger tire if you dont lower it as much.

This truck is lowered 3/4 with 265/40/22s on it and it still rubs when you get it flexed on some asphalt transitions.
