Tire size? 265/40/22

Hi, about to get a G with 265/40/22 tires (what I was told) but I don’t like the low profile tires. What tires would fit, and still not look to big, I’m thinking of fitting 50mm spring spacers regardless.
It’s a G350TD so not much power.

im also looking at getting the wider AMG fender flares, since it already got the OME front bumper.
is the wheels too narrow for amg fenders? Will I need wheels spacers? If so, which one?

Your picture came through very distorted. I can make out the shape of the G but that's about it.

I'm in a similar boat. I'm looking to fit larger tires and a suspension lift to my G. If you stay with a stock G550 suspension, I think 31.5" tall wheels are about as tall as you can go before rubbing issues start becoming a thing (stock tires are 30.5" tall, at least on my G550).

You can achieve a moderate lift of about 1.5" (about 40mm) with new springs and shocks. Any taller and you will run into issues with castor and the axles shifting to the driver side of the truck.

I'm putting together a 3" lift package for my truck. It requires new springs, shocks, Panhard Bars, castor bushings, a new steering stabilizer, extended locker and brake lines and wheel spacers. If you don't go too wide with the tires or have wider wheels you might be able to skip the wheel spacers. You'll have to ask around to be sure.

I'm going through JackWagon Overlanding for the kit. Jack has been incredibly helpful and responsive and his prices are reasonable. He should be able to help you figure out what you need for this build.
