Hello guys,
I got 22 inch wheels and Its very sad that whenever I have someone sitting in the back , it rubs and very bad noise comes. Its very painful to hear that Rims are 22x9 in the front and 22x10.5. I dont know the offset details and the car is sitting on stock suspension.
Please help me with this issue and I dont want to lower the rim size.
Probably wanna stretch your tires however on 22's I would probably keep as much meat on that tire as I can... First pot hole will probably already ruin things
What are the offsets? This forum has endless information as to what works and what requires work in the FAQ section
Its the distance from the wheel hub mounting to the centerline of the wheel if you take the wheel off on the back it has a 2 letter digit followed by a number(et30 or et25 etc) thats your offset of the wheel they dont look like they stick out too much check it out and then compare it to the offset of your stock wheels by the way the car looks good with rims 👍
If you're going to roll the rears, make sure to cut slits before rolling. This will prevent it from dimpling at the top arch. I have learned the hard way... or just shave them.
I'm assuming your fenders are cutting into your tire (causing the rubbing sound) so you could shave your rear fenders or do what the hardcore japanese guys do:
Kidding aside, the NT555's run a bit on the square side for tires, so you probably need to size down to a 285.

I am very aware of what offset is. I was asking the OP for his specs lol. I also suspect the OP did not review the thread I created years ago where folks posted their wheel and tire specs to provide real world examples on our LS's..I'm not a newb around these parts ;-)
I had the same issue with my rears when my car had two people in the back seat. I took my car to a local body shop and charged me 150 bucks to roll out and trim my rear fender lips. I still get the occasional rub on really bad bumps and three people in the back, but it's very minor.
