So I have a 1992 Chevy OBS on a 5/7 drop, 3in drop springs and 2 in drop spindles in the front then a 6in flip kit in the back with a 1in adjustable drop shackle. I have 22x8 knockoffs(wire wheels) I want to put on it but what’s the biggest tire I can put on the front and back? I was thinking 245/35/22 in the front then 265/40/22 in the back. I have cut my inner fenders in the front and rolled my inner fenders in the rear. Any suggestions before I buy any tires?

Give us more information than "1992 Chevy OBS". Half-ton? One-Ton? RWD? 4x4? There are several suspension configurations that will affect the spindle. That's makes finding information on "what tires fit" difficult.

A 265 35 22 for the rear, a 245 35 in the front will be close but will probably rub on dips. Hard to tell for sure because of not knowing the offset of your wheel. Also a 245 35 22 is almost as tall as a stock 235 75 15 and they rub on big dips

Offset on the wheel is 111m
