225/30-22 & 245/30-22 or 255/30-22 the 245 is going to be a nice stretch but from experience unless you have weak offsets your going to need the clearance. I think the only people that make a 225/30-22 are Lexani and its usually on back order. Your going to need the functionallity of a stretched tire in the front or your going to have to cut the hell out of your front bumper bracket, I mean really cut it back and your going to risk tearing up your fenders while turning. having the sidewall stretched some will grant you more clearance while turning. Good luck post pics!

I thought you have to drop 5 for every inch you add to the wheel:
18s = 40s
19s = 35s
20s = 30s
22s = 25s stretched

i ran 245/30/22 and i only had to notch a small part of the bracket for the bumper.

You ran this in the front, what about the rear? Was your wheels staggered?

I think the 245 on the front is going to make it harder to turn, go with a 235 or 225 would be even better
