Hey yall. I am new to the site but have a tire question. I just bought 22 x 9.5 wheels and I am trying to figure what size tires I should get. All I have is a Daystar 2.5 leveling kit. I want meaty tires but minimal rubbing. Please help. Thanks yall and i get some photos on here as soon as I figure out how.

 

fill in your info so we no what truck you have but assuming it's an 04 or later with a 2.5 kit 33s are the largest reccomended that won't rub or require cutting

 

Thank for a reply!! Its an 08 Ford F150 STX 4x4. One more question how wide yall think I should go?? I want all terrains.....nitto, mickey's, or goodyear.

 

I'd suggest 305/45-22's (33x12.50).

 

The expert himself. Thanks for answering the same question over and over. How much would they stick out and enough for me to get fender flares?? Thanks again.

 

What's the backspacing on them?

 

6.63

 

My 22x9.5's on my Expy have 6.7 inches of backspacing. Up front the edge of the tire/wheel is just about even with the edge of the OEM fender flares. They will stick out about an inch farther than the OEM wheels.

 

Cool. Don't sound bad at all. Thanks for all the help. But the wheels will have to wait just found out the bastards sold out the day before I bought them and didn't update the site.

 

Also what are the biggest pro/cons between 20's and 22's??

 

Weight, personal preference, tire price.

 

smaller side wall, stiffer ride, less side wall, hit a pothole, possible ding in wheel, roads are bad in this town, 22 on a truck in my city isnt a good thing.
