What size tires to put on 22s?

[FXtion]

the 285 is going to be lower than stock. I personally didn't like it since it put even more gap above the tire.

I used to have 265/40 and it was OK. I recently did the 305/35 and it's the same diameter as the 265.

265MM X 40% = 106mm Sidewall
285mm X 35% = 99.75mm Sidewall
305mm X 35% = 106.75mm Sidewall

.7MM is about 1/4 of an inch which equals to 1/2" total in diameter of the Tire. Lowering Springs give you about a 1.2" drop. This means with a 1/4" more gap, above your tire, your ride will look less "dropped".

305mm is 12". depending on the wheel, you'll have 2-3" wider tire than your wheels. Most wheels are 9.5" This means that you'll have a 1 1/4 of an inch "bulge" on each side. According to Dave, you'll have most of that on the inner side.

265mm is about 10.43". this means that you'll have less than 1/2" on each side.

Some of us spend $75 or so on Whell Spacers to give us an extra 1/2 to 1" to fill the fender gap. I had to take my front and rear spacers off and it looks great.

Remember, 20MM extra in width is only 3/4 of an inch, but 40mm differance between 265 and 305 is 1.5 inches. I would either go with the 265 or 305.

Also, as Stu mentioned, 305 will give you great Lip protection.

Does your 305 rub? Only reason I didn't get it as I know 265/40 doesn't for sure.

rubbing is not a matter of just the width, it's more a matter of where it's centered in the wheelwell, 315's don't rub at all if there centered in the well correctly, it's more a matter of offset combined with the width itself to determine if it'll rub or not...

Im gonna add this one to my album. nice Pic

315? Is that what your running, cause yours are nice.

How would 305/40-22 Look? I need a good tie, the sizes I looked up came back with little results?

 

[Hanzofx]

anyone?

 

[Psiclne]

I dont think anyone is running a 305/40....you can be the first. I think most are 285 or 295. I think Dr2k is running 305 but in a 35 series I believe.

 

[turbocad6]

yeah, a 305/40 is too tall, a 305/35 is the same diameter as the stock 20's if you wanted to go 305's all around...

305 all around can work with the right offsets & will not work well or rub with the wrong offsets.

I'm running a 315 in the back but that's really kinda wide for the front, I did a staggered setup though, so my fronts only 265/35, but it's about the same diameter as the rear, so it's all good with the awd ecu stuff. my tires are 1" smaller diameter though...

now that I think about it, I shouldn't say a 305/40 is too tall, but it is taller than stock. will used to run a taller than stock 20 & I thought it looked really good, makes the fx look beefy & lower, can def work too with the right wheel... & the fx will have less wheel gap & more sidewall which automatically makes it look even lower visually... so it's not really too tall...

only thing I wanted parada spec X's, but looks like p zero looks like my only choice.They got a bad review thats all. their the only ones who offer 305/35-22. whats the 295 setup?

 

[FXtion]

Not at all. however, I'm not exactly sure what my offset is.
