I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Incubus shylock's in 22" or possibly 20". I believe the only come in 9.5 inch any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been reading info on this forum and the knowledge is out of this world. Thanks (1st) post

They look tight from what I can tell. Kinda like the rims on another members car, can't remember who right now. Here's a pic of the rim.

Wow thanks for the quick response, I new I'd love it here!!! Still learning how to move pic from my pics to reply, but I'll get it.

Everywhere I'm looking says this for your rims:

FWD 18x7.5, 20x8.5, 22x8.5, 24x9
RWD 18x8.5, 20x9.5, 24x9

The above is from pdkwheels.com. If you went with 22's, they'd only be 8.5 which is okay, but you can go 9.5 all around easily. The only problem I see is with the 22X8.5, being a FWD, they have a +20 offset. I believe +13 to +20 is where you want to be, so you should be okay. I think from the specs they'd be sitting way inside the fender though which might look kinda funny. I'm sure others will add their .02 cents, or more if they feel like rambling!!!

I looked at several wheel companies and they all list different sizes 8.5, 9 ,and 9.5. what would the ideal size be. I don't want any rubbing or sticking out past the wheel wells. I've read it a thousand times ,but 22 or 20 and would the 9.5 by 22 work with the correct tire? What ever that may be; I'll cross that bridge after I get the wheel's straight. Love the foose nitrous just a little much $ for me. Thanks again

Most people, including me, have 22X9.5 +15 offset on 265/35/22 tires. That, from what I know, is the perfect combination for our cars. Nice lip, sits flush with the fenders, no rub, wide tires, plenty of side wall, etc.. Good luck with whichever wheels you get!!!

22x9.5 is by far the most common 22" wheel size I've seen being used on the forums. Way more than 22x8.5 and 22x10 - not that these won't work but they're just less common.

Seeing as how +20 is right on the bleeding edge for the recommended offset for our cars, I can't guarantee w/ 100% certainty that you won't have rubbing issues.

As for tires, 265/35/22 is the most common 22" tire size being run.

If you go 22s, you may wanna consider having a plan to lower your car once you see them on. There will be a considerable gap in between the tire and the wheel well.
