Tire size with 22's

[HemiBallin]

Hey! I'm looking at getting some 22's asap and I need to know what some of you guys are running for a tire size that dosn't rub. kxwheels.com wheel packages say that the tires are 305/40/R22. Will that work? 305 seems a little wide to me.

Also, do you recommend lowering the car with 22's or does it fill the wheel gap pretty good?

Thanks
Mike

on my car i have 22" wheels i beleive 22"x10" not sure though they might be 22x9.5...anyways i have a 265x30 series tire. most people run with a 35 series tire but i was going to lower my ride after wheels and did not want to have any issues with rubbing. and for the last few months of driving i have had no issues. if you lower it i reccomend using a 30 series tire, if you dont i would use a 35 series tire, it looks alott better that way(w/o the car lowered vs. a 30 series as it fits the wheel well pretty good)

Yeah, I'm ridin' on 265/35s.. No problems so far..

So do you think that the 305's might be a little wide?

possible could be - i guess it could depend on offset etc

I run 265/35 and have lowered my car 50mm - so far no rubbing issues and it looks 100% better being lowered

what size is the rim ex. 22x9.5 +15offset

I believe 305/40/22 are on trucks....

They are exactly that. 22X9.5 with a 15 offset.

Overall height would be 31.6" which is too tall and wouldnt fit.
Those that have 24's and are shaving the bolt to get the rims to fit are only using a tyre which is 29.4" tall.

Stick to a 265/35 or like 300cKid16 and use a 265/30 <-- my preference

Thanks everyone! I'll go with either 265/30's or 265/35's!
