New 22" Wheels for summer

[Chedman13]

I am looking to change my stock 20" with 22" wheels. Here are the measurements for the new rims I ordered:

Size: 22x9.5" Offset : +38mm bolt Pattern: 5x4.5"

Is 260/45/r22 fine or do I need any spacer? I am not going to lower the car yet...hehe.

Since I am located in NYC (horrible road), Will 22" be very harsh on the ride compare to stock 20"?

Thanks for your feedback.

I'm going to advocate 265/40/22, I'm not sure if that's what you originally meant.

My reasons are:
1) Closest to OEM tire diameter at 30.3" (slightly varies by tire)
2) Larger sidewall height than 285/35/22, but less buldge
3) on a 9.5" wide wheel, 265/40/22, the actual measuring width is 9.5" and is approved for wheels 9.0"-10.5" width

The latest tire I bought was Goodyear Fortera SL 265/40/22 (insane wear rating 500 A A), but can't go wrong with Hankook Ventus RH06 265/40/22 (420 A A).

The ride is comparable to 265/50/20 I would say and no issues with Chicago roads with the 22's.

I run 265/40/22 on my 22"x9.5" and 22"x9.0".

Im going with 265 45 22 next tire change also. I want less gap between tire and fender, also like chedman said, closer to OEM tire diameter

Yokohama Parada Spec-X is what I was rolling on.

I'm running 265/35-22's on my fronts in nyc, I've already hammered quite a few potholes, ruts, lumps, speed bumps & stuff with no issues... a 285/35-22 will have a bit more sidewall than mine even, they can work in nyc I think... depends on wheel strength though... you still got decent amount of rubber, no less than some factory bigger wheeled cars really... the 40's & even the 45's will offer more protection though of course...
