I have loved my 08 FX35 for the past 6+ years. I have just bought a 2013 FX50S and have been running 305/35-22 Tires on my KMC Slide wheels on my 08 for about the whole time I have owned it. Love the 22's and the wide 305 on all fours.
Can I fit the 305/35-22 on the FX50?
Not sure if the back space and wheel well will support it.
 
Depends what your offset of your wheels is. 1st Gen run a 40mm offset and 2nd gen run 50mm stock.

Also you have much bigger brakes on your 50, try them.
 
How wide are your 22's? 22 x ?

They're probably 10" or 10.5", I don't think KMC Slides come in a 12" width. And you don't need a 12" wheel to fit a 305, a 10.5" is perfectly fine and within specs. Lots of people on here have run 305 on a 10.5" rim. I did and I ran Pirelli's which are really wide, they fit fine without a bulge. 305 on a 12 would be slightly stretched.

OP, front brake clearance will be the biggest potential issue. The rear wheel wells aren't different enough between the years to really impact fit.

They should be at 22x12 to fit properly.

They are 22x10.5 and Pirelli 305/35-22. They fit the rim perfect and look great on my 08FX35.
I guess I just need to try them. I'm not going to use the KMC, but just to check fitment. I'm interested in going forged this time around. The KMC Slides are HEAVY 40+++lbs!
 
Those are nice wheels, but just a little too bold for me.
I'm leaning towards Giovanna Kilis and have the powder coated either a flat bronze or gun powder. Not sure of a color or flat/gloss.
