I was searching the threads and the only thing I found close to what my answer was didn't help any?


I'm trying to find out if a 22x8.5 +35 and 22x10.5 +38 offset will work? rolling fenders is okay, but will I need a spacer to clear the calipers? If it helps the wheels are status knight those seem to be the only staggered 22's I can find in a 5 spoke design that I can afford

Thanks so much for any help :biggrin:

Depends on the curvature of the spokes if they will clear the caliper or not. I belive they will clear your OEM brakes no problem.

The offsets will be fine. The front will be tucked in, the rear will be ever so slightly tucked in. No fender rolling should be required. If you are AWD search for threads about running staggered setups on AWD FXs. Basically the circumference of the tires has to be within a certain percentage of one another so that the system functions normally.

thanks for the help! I'm gonna go ahead and try them when the time comes. Im thinking I might have to roll the fenders because bc coilovers are going on aswell. im thinking I might want some spacers after its all completed. im looking for the flush stance. Im just glad they will work it seems when you find a wheel you like the offsets are wrong or the are 1200 a wheel! YIKES! thanks again so much.

No problem. Wheels are a fickle thing and you are right. Only way to get everything we want (flush, wide, etc) is by paying for a cutom made wheel as sometimes off the shelf doesn't equate to everything we want nor does it suit our individual tastes.
 
okay so as far as some of you know i actually found a fx45. and I asked if the status knight wheels will fit. now im wondering if 22x10.5 will work all the way around? it will be LOW on coilovers almost all the way down, so im scared there might be some rubbing issues AFTER the fender rolling. what do you guys think? will this happen? again the offset is +38 , should I stick with 8.5 up front? thanks guys again!
 
It'll work. I am 20 x 10.5 offset +43 all the way around with 295/45/20. My diameter of wheel and tire combo will be roughly the same as yours. +38 will still tuck both front and rear, which may equate to you not rolling your fenders when you lower it as much as you can on those coilovers.

I am going with spacers soon which will put my offset at either a +33 (safe and may require minor or no rolling) or +28 (which will require fender rolling).
 
you know what i might do is after the wheels come in go to my local tire store and do differant test fitments with spacers. maybe do a lower offset in the rear to get them back tires out just a tick outside of the fender and run the front flush. thanks guys for your help cant wait to order them bad boys, lol
