Would 305/45/22 Look OK on my 2" lifted Laramie Sport?

I originally had 35x12.5R22 on it and rode to rough. Will a 305/45/22 ride much better and will it still look OK? Anyone else have this so I could see a pic? Thanks! The pis is my stock tire.

I have Black Rhino Traverse 22X10 which are lighter than the stock 22's with 305/44 22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. In my opinion the look it's amazing. I've never had as many compliments on a vehicle as I get on this truck. I stayed away from 285/55 because of weight, ride quality loss and power loss. The combination of my Black Rhino wheels being so light and 305/45 22 Ridge Grapplers it's lighter than stock. It rides better than stock. More planted, super smooth and quiet, and it is quicker if the line with the weight loss. I have added Borla S-Type, aFe Stage 2 Magnum Cold Air Intake and Pulsar Tuner but the first thing I did was wheels and tires and immediately notice a big improvement over stock 22's with the very "passenger car" 285/45 tires.

Thank you!! I'm a huge fan of the 305/45 22. The 1.5" height gain looks nice with 285/55 22 but the weight and harsh ride simply isn't worth it IMHO. Enjoy your truck also! I look forward to pics of what you get!

I do but it's the all season tire and I didn't lift the truck, I lowered the rear 2" and also added 1/4" spacers to pull wheel out some. The wheels are 22x10 (+25 offset)replicas of the factory painted/polished 22" sport wheels but these are true black instead of the factory charcoal gray.

I'm running 22x10 -18 wheels with 305 45r22's on my truck. I leveled the truck with links as it's air ride but should give you a bit of an idea. I honestly enjoy the ride alot. I also own a lifted 2500 that would rattle the teeth out of you. But I've had multiple people ride in my 1500 and comment that it's the smoothest truck they've rode in

Do you have a side view of how much those come out passed the fenders? I'm looking at the same size setup but -12 offset hoping its out an inch or 2. What height do you have the air-ride at in this photo? Awesome truck BTW!

Is this with the Mopar 2" Lift? Or a level?

Any rub with those nitros? Did you install level or lift?
