Away from the forum for a year. Back with questions. Tires and lowering?

So, some of you may remember me, some wont, most probably dont care one way or another.

Anyway, I sold this cause we were having twins and already have a toddler:


Since the sale of the SCREW in January, I purchased this:



2004 Eddie Expy. Bone stock. But it fits all the kids, so thats good!

Onto the point.

Wheels.

I just got a set of Lariat Limited 22's I think the off white inside the spokes will go very well against the white with beige on my Expy.

No rubber tho. They are just sitting in my garage staring at me for the last 2 weeks and its KILLING ME! So, I've been thinking about 305/45-22's. I know stock is 275/45, but i wanted a bit more rubber.

Once I get them on, maybe drop the *** to level it? Anyone have any insite as to how i go about that?

Anyway, thoughts and opinions are appreciated as always.

And im happy to be back on the forum!

Oh, and literally EVERYTHING in my sig is gone now. New sig to come

Lowering coils are for 4x4?

Also, i was hoping you (wandell) would chime in. The 305/45-22's will be ok on the limited 22 x 9's...yeah?

yeah, ive been a bad forum member for that long!

Sold my truck, my motorcycle, bought a 4-wheeler and sold it and my wife had twins.

But now its time to have some fun with the Expy!

I'd like to try and make it look like the Limited F150, i think that would be pretty Kool!

The Expy's coilover IFS and IRS is the same on the 4x2's and 4x4's. The only difference is the Expy's that have air ride.
What are the specs on the OEM 22's? My wheels are 22x9.5 with 6.7 inches of backspacing and I have no rubbing with 305/45-22's.
