Plus and minus sizing
Same overall height on a different wheel. Going down a wheel size buys sidewall for off-road; going up is usually about looks. Gearing and speedometer stay put either way.

Reading this size
285/45R22 breaks down as 285mm section width, an aspect ratio of 45 (the sidewall is 45% of the width, so 5.05 inches), and a 22-inch wheel. Overall diameter is the wheel plus two sidewalls: 22 + 5.05 + 5.05 = 32.10 inches.
That last figure is the one that matters when you change size. The speedometer, odometer, transmission shift points and stability control all assume the factory diameter, so staying within a few percent keeps everything calibrated. Width matters for clearance rather than gearing — it decides whether the tire touches the suspension at full lock.
Common questions
How tall is a 285/45R22 tire?
32.10 inches in overall diameter, with a 5.05-inch sidewall on a 22-inch wheel. Section width is 11.22 inches (285mm), and it turns about 628 times per mile. Real tires vary from the nominal figure by up to half an inch depending on brand and tread.
What is equivalent to a 285/45R22?
The closest common size is 275/65R18 at 32.07 inches — -0.1% different. Anything within about 3% of the original diameter swaps on without upsetting the speedometer badly or needing a tune.
Will 285/45R22 fit my truck?
It is a factory size on the Ram 1500, so it fits those directly. On any other truck what matters is how far it is from the size fitted now — use the calculator on this page to check diameter change, speedometer error and rubbing risk against your current size.
Does going to 285/45R22 affect my speedometer?
Only if the overall diameter changes. The speedometer counts wheel rotations and multiplies by the factory tire circumference, so a larger tire makes the truck travel further per rotation than the gauge assumes and the display reads low. Around 3% is where transmission shift points and stability control calibration start to matter, and most modern trucks can be recalibrated for the new size.
