The Michelin's should work on stock 22" wheels in the 285/45R22 sizing. It's only 10mm wider than the stock 275 tire.
The width range for the 285 size is 9"-10.5" and the stock LR wheels are 22x9.

Cheers,

In the recent years, I have tried the BFG K02, my wife still has these on her Bronco, the Falken wildpeak which my daughter still has on her Bronco, the Toyo Open country AT3, General Grabber AT2, first generation Good Year Duratracs and now the Good year Duratrac RT.

Between these, the best are as follows:

- Good Year Duratracs RT for looks,winter weather and wet pavement, but a bit noisy
-Good year Duratracs original. Not as sexy as the RT, but just as good.
-Toyo Open country AT3. Not as sexy as the GY RT and a bit noisy but very good
- Falken wildpeak AT. Not agressive looking and good all around performer and are quiet.
-General Grabber AT2. On par with the falken
-BFG K02. Almost as sexy as the GY RT, Worst pebble picker on the list, a bit noisy and totally suck in water puddles and wet winter slush as they hydroplane like crazy due to the tread design that keeps water and slush under the tire with no way to escape, thus why they are dangerous imo. My buddy has the K03 which are apparently just as bad.

hope this helps.
