Hi All!
I've read through so many searches on tire size. Instead, i figured i'd actually just post to see if anyone has some explicit tips.

2013 G550 stock.
I plan to use 22x10 wheels (45 offset, 5x130 84.1 hub)

Seeking to put:
Option1: 285/45r22
Option2: 285/50r22

Question1: Do I need wheel spacers?
Question2: Do I need a 40mm spacer lift? (I've decided minimum spacer-lift)
Quesiton3: Does anyone else have a minor lift and felt the need to purchase that ORC/OCR Sway-Bar kit? ($2.2k?)


Thanks!!
-Justin

Ive got 305/45 R22's on mt 2003, no lift rides great corners better too. I haven't done any hard off road stuff but it still articulates good.

Thanks for the reply and images!
do you know your final height? (Floor to tallest point... I think it’s he antenna). (For garages)

Don’t know exact height but I have a standard garage and it fits. The dealer changed the computer to the biggest tire size and it’s still a touch off on the speedo. Doing 70 indicates 66.
