Tire Size with Current Drop

Hey guys!! Spring is almost here and I am getting ready to put on 22x9 Sport Muscle Clutch 6 Wheels on my truck. I just had the Belltech 3" Coil Springs installed in the front, and the Belltech 2" Shackle Kit in the rear. The coil springs kit actually lowered my 08 V6 3.5 inches. My question is, Tirerack recommends 275/45/22 tires, but I have heard I can fit 305/40/22 tires. I like the way the 305/40/22 tires look. Do you guys think I will have rubbing issues, or any other fitment problems. Thanks in advance!! Oh, and this is a cell phone pic! Not the best but you can see how my drop looks!

I bet a 305/40-22 will be a tight fit up front.

What about 285/35/22? Think that would be ok?

They should fit for sure, but are they tall enough for you. A 285/40-22 might be perfect.

Sweet! As you can tell, when it comes to the whole tire size thing I am pretty clueless. Thanks for helping me out! When I went to Tire Discounters the guy was trying to get me to get 265/35/22 tires which I have seen and I think they personally look to small on our trucks. I just want something that gives me a nice sidewall and will fit with my front drop. The back I am not worried about!! You posted on my last thread, I really appreciate your help! You know your stuff!
