;)i guess it depends on the offset and the tire size will make a difference. 22's might be pushing it but i have heard it could be done with little rub on a hard u turn. but check the iffset because you don't want it to stick out or tucked in too far.
i saw a fullsize pickup few days ago with 23 or 24(?) in rim with 35series tires with a bigg fender gap. it looked rediculously ugly. probably better off with stock rim for him...such a waste of money....right there and then i knew allways biger is not necessary the better. im planning 20's with lowered AV. instead of my original 22in plan.

What are the SPECS on the tires? ?Everyone who has tried 305's experienced rubbing. ?Some have done wheel well trimming. ?

There is a discussion of the 305 tires in this topic:
Anyone have 305/50/20s with NO RUBBING??

This is a new members AV on 22's in Fort Worth ...

You will find a couple of lowered av's on 20's on this site
 
:D I LIKE THOSE AVs THAT HAVE LOWERED WITH THOSE COOL WHEELS , BUT I'M MORE INTO OFF ROAD AND I'M WONDERING WHAT KIND OF OFF ROAD TIRE AND WHAT SIZE CAN FIT WITHOUT A MOD. :0:
 
The largest tires I have heard of that fit the Av's without modification are 285/70/17 Goodyear MT/R's that a couple of folks are using.
 
Here are 27s on a Caddy Escalade EXT. Pics are from the LA Auto Show.

I would give my right arm to see someone run 24's or bigger here in the tri-state area...and not bend or brake a rim.....these streets are not that forgiving.... :B:
 
it's hard to run 22's out here in cali. geesh you wold be amazed at how terrible the roads are.
