I read somewhere that this size is "off on spec" and will cause a 4% differential in my speedo; not too happy about that. Other companies are talking 305/40/22 all the way around as well, but I have read that these will rub in the front. I've also read/heard about going with 295/30/22, but I haven't been able to find these in a good brand/price.

Any suggestions or experiences with these sizes??? I need all the help I can as I want to get these on ASAP (before I spend the money elsewhere.. )

I believe it was me that advised that 285/35/22 will give u a 4% difference.
Its a 4% increase if you oem are 20"!Otherwise its only a 2.81% increase on others.

The 295/30/22 will give you the correct rol.diametre,but if you cant find this you have to go 4 an alternative!Can you get 285/30/22?this is only 0.95%
decrease!

Those companies that recommended the 305/40/22 should be shot!These will give you an increase of 10.3%.......(+75mm!)
