Largest tire size on 22" rims

I think you will be fine. I have 305/35/24 and have zero issues.
Are you running stock wheels or aftermarket .. what is the offset of the wheels? The only possible issue I could foresee is if you have really low offset wheel and at full turn you could make slight contact with the front wheel well vents

I actually have not picked any wheels yet I am still contemplating which to get and so on, thank you all for the feedback I think I will probably go with a 285 just to be safe as I don't want to have to trim anything in the wheel wells.
I'll probably also go with a spacer not sure what size but something to make them flush with the fenders.

i tried 33x12.5 trail grapplers --- they rub in the front, even with a 2" lift
want to try 305/45, but obviously dont want rub. we tried a 2" lift (still on), and 20mm spacers (made it worse, took it off).
i guess 285/45 is the safest bet, but would really like the 305 to work

what tires will fit on the factory 22" wheels?

Im not expert but I have 305/35/24 on my truck and clear everything with ease. I love my Toyo ST3
My recommendation would be 305/40/22 Nitto Terra grapplers if you want that off-road look.. if you want 305/45, Falken Ziex STZ05 probably safest bet f(many California stores like Platinum Motorsport run this model on their g wagons).. but if I had 22’s I would be running a 305/40 for sure

If you do 305/45 or 305/40 you'll need to cut inner plastic no matter what. This will be the only way you won't rub. We have several dealers running 463 Industries 22" wheel on the 2019 G550, they all run 305 and all of them had to cut small portions of the plastic lining.
Let us know if you have any more questions.

Do do you have any recommendations on where else to trim? My shop has been racking their brains on this too
Trying 305/45 ridge Grappler on Friday.
if this still rubs with the 305/45 (32.8 x 11.93), do you think 285/50/22 (33.5” x 11.69”) could work? It’s .7” taller, while less wide by .3”
I know the 285/45/22 ridge or 285/40/22 terra would work, but then I’m approaching near stock tire measurements
RDBLA put 305/35/24 (32.52 x 12.17) on a G550 that wasn’t lifted nor do I think was trimmed.

Joz gave really good advice. Tire markings doesn't always mean its the same across the board. You need to look at specific dimensions under tire description,. Also like he mentioned the tires lugs on more aggressive offload tires will rub more things. Also do you need your front bull bar? If not take it off and that might solve your rubbing. The bull bar on my 63 is pretty damn heavy and actually made the front lift up slightly .

I have 305/35/24 on my g550
i inserted this stick and turned wheel full.. seems my overall tire diameter is really the most you want to chance, which is 32.4” .. with this diameter it seems , according to my logic , you are safe from rubbing the plastic vent in well... regardless of wheel offset or width...
