[dirtycj5]

i can get a killer deal on a set of 10 22.5's with pretty new 10r22.5 tires on alcoa's
i think these tires are about 40 in tall would a 4in lift clear it???or would i have to go higher

Im pretty sure the 4" lift won't be enough. Whatever size lift the guys are using to clear 40"s on a single wheel, that's the size you will need too. It's going to have to be a pretty big lift just to clear though.

i dont think youll be close with 40's...maybe with an 8 inch or 9 inch lift...

4.5 inch lift clears 37's all day, check out a 6" lift to fit your 40's.

performance........ what are you running to clear the 255/70 22.5's from what ive been seeing on line 255/70's are about 36-36.5 tall with a 2in spacer to clear on a 4x4.

Im just using a 2" leveling kit, but it's super close. I haven't had them to rub though. The 10r22.5s will rub in the front when turning for sure. That's why you don't see many people running that big of a tire size. The offset on the Alcoas just won't be enough to keep them from rubbing even if you have plenty of lift to clear them. The 10rs are wider than a 70 series tire which will cause a clearence problem with the rear leaf springs on the inner wheels on the rear. This also will add to the problem in the front. Most 70 series tires are as wide as you can run, without major suspension mods, spacers, custom adaptors, or something to get the wheels out.

I will say some 10rs may fit depending on the tire company, but it's something you will have to definitly check first before buying or it could be a bad deal. I have seen 9rs on a Dodge before.

No problem. The 255/70 is really the best size for these trucks and especially for a daily driver. It's going to put the truck up around 3" higher anyway. The larger sizes in the commercial tires are also heavier and you will tell the difference even with the 255/70s. It's just much easier to use this size.
