I currently have the 285/45R22 tires on my 2019 Longhorn 4x4. I want to replace with an all-terrain tire. I'm considering going up to the 305/45R22 (Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8). My truck is at stock height and it does not have the air suspension. Will the 305s fit without rubbing? I searched thru previous posts on here, but everyone I found was related to a Limited with the air suspension. I don't want to buy them and they rub and I get stuck with them. Thanks in advance for the input.

Why not just spend 100 bucks on a 2" level and then go even a little bit bigger like 33s and still have no rub? And the truck will look ALOT better sitting level!?

I hear ya. The 305 measures in at 32.8" tall. So we're talking 0.2" difference here. Right, or am I missing something? I've always kept stock tires on vehicles before, so this is new territory for me. ThanksWhy not just spend 100 bucks on a 2" level and then go even a little bit bigger like 33s and still have no rub?

Yes, it does matter, but that should be fine even still.
I’ve ran 8” wide wheels with 12.50’s for years, most anyone in the offroad community has, on and off road, with no ill effects.
a 305 is 12.00” wide, I feel pretty confident in saying you’ll never have any trouble.
The ones that boggle my mind are the guys with a 14” wide wheel and 12.50 or 13.50 tire, stretched way out.

Have you considered 295?
Also...if you're planning on doing off roading...I would look to downsize the rim.
Nexen makes great tires. I recently switched from them to the Falken Wildpeaks though...I was surprised that I liked the Wildpeaks even more.

Just Revel Links for my air suspension. Minor rub at full lock but heated up my liner and pushed it back. No more rub.

Would be curious to see how much they rub without the links. I would only install the links with the spacers, but thatd be a PITA to take out quick and put on regular tires if i had to bring to dealer for warranty work.

Not sure if I asked you - do you know how much you lifted it with the links? Im only looking for 0.5-1" at most but if that doesnt net me the larger tire might as well stay stock.

Is that the lowest height increase the links can be set to?
Still have all settings available (OR1, OR2, etc)?
Any change in ride quality? Or would you attribute it more to ride new tires?
Not meant to Hijack thread - sorry!
These look so good! What size tires? And did you use wheel/hub spacers? If so, what size?
