The width and offset isnt to bad they stick out a tad but just enough to make it look good. I did have to trim the inside front some. and well pull out the BFH mod on the back of the well, and with some cosmetic cover up to pull it off. No rubbing or turn issues
:thumbsUP:
Did you have OEM wheels before? If so, I'd be interested in your thoughts of MPG before and after the swap. (Still trying to decide whether stock or larger tires get the best MPG results.)
Kinda leaning toward smaller for city driving and larger for HWY? IDK.
Must be lotsa smooth roads where you live 'cause the ride is gonna be shait with those rubber bands.

Now that food has replaced sex in my life -
I can't even get into my own pants!!
Pk those aint no rubberbands ! The roads arent horrible here but not to many smooth. Ride is nice in these even with potholes and such. I used to run 285/35/22 so this is a nice improvement.
Yes Vette i run my stocks for winter which are 285/60/18 so the mpgs arent that different maybe 1-2 less. I do a combo of constant highway and city.Did you have OEM wheels before?

Vette they are 22x9.5 with an offset of +10mm and backspace is 5.6''. I get a little less mpg with these guys then over my stock ones.( most likely due to the sheer weight of these comp to stock)
Don't forget Lizard that your tires are larger than OEM and are throwing off your ODO and speedometer by 8.532% LESS than how far/fast you're actually going.
Also, your OD is 32.09" according to the calculator at 1010tires.

Ooooh...you're a keen stickler. AFAICT, they look like Nitto NT420's. On their website, the OD is listed exactly as 32.09". Considering variance from brand-to-brand, I'm surprised they come out EXACTLY the same as the 1010's calculator!
I REALLY like those rims, lizardman! 5-spoke, 6-lug wheels are rare. What make/model are they? FWIW, I like the wheel/tire ratio and how they fill the wells. Better than any other 22's I've seen pictured in this thread. And, I like the 45's way better than the appearance of your older 35's....
I like the addition of the chrome nerf bar too!
:ThumbsUP!:
