how wide can you go on a 2/4?

305-45 R22 rubbed on mine at full lock...
305-40 R22 doesn't rub ever.... If you can find BFW KDW's g-force and that fits your budget they are the best tire I've ever ran on my hoopty.

I'd do a 305/40 on 22's with a 2/4. If it rubs, which will depend on wheel offset it will just be slightly on the swaybar but I doubt you'll ever notice it.
Mine rubbed with those tires but I have the bigger Hellwig swaybar. With a 305/35 you'll never, ever rub at full lock.

Will the wheel offset decide this alone or takes into consideration the stance and angles/geometry of just the 2/4? Will other drops be the same, whether it's a 2/3, 1/3, etc (305/45)? Thanks for the info, much appreciated :]

Anything 1" in the front will be fine with a 305/45/22. Once you hit 2" you'll probably rub at full lock on steep turns and stuff. Since the SRT reps are so popular base everything I'm saying off those for reference. A 305/40 will give you a lot more clearance even with a 3" front drop but that's where you'll see some light rubbing in the same scenario as above. A 35 series tire will eliminate it completely with a 3-4" front drop. Any lower than that and all bets are off.
