    best way to fit 22s on an 09?

    im looking for the best possible way to fit 22 inch rims with 305/45 tires on my 09 silverado. i know about leveling kits and small lifts that rough country makes but i was wondering what eveyone has been doing to clear these huge rims and tires. any input is greatly appreciated.

    On the 09's i dont think you would need to do anything for those tires to clear.

    I thought they stuffed 30'' wheels on a NNBS without much modification.

    i should have been more specific i have a 4x4 silverado. i think you guys are running 2wd right? i installed one on the front left and it rubbed like crazy about half way turning to the left on the inner fender and mud flap... ive seen one truck with a 2.5 inch leveling kit and they had to trim some sheet metal from the inner fender because they still rubbed.

    Your offset may be too low. that's only a 32" tire right? I had 325/65/18 on my 00 Z71, a little trimming of the plastic, no lift. The 325/65 is a 34X13" tire. You shouldn't have any problems with that tire unless the wheels only have a +10 or 0 offset.

    yeah unless you have the wrong offset you shouldnt have any problems at all.
