Ok had 20" rims on my 2007 lexus gs350.. Wanted to go with 22" rims being I have seen so many post where people get them to work. Tried to put them on today first the rim is a 2crave n14 22" rim .. Tires are 255/30/22. Idk the width but 1st issue is the tire rubs my strut in the front . The back of the tire... 2nd is it rubs the crap out of my fender well.. Was told if I went with a 235/30/22 I will clear the strut and rub less.. Car is stock not lowered. If I get these 235/30/22 will that fix a lot of my issues? Don't want to waste the money on more tires and have same issue please help!!

What offset?


Here I am worried about running 20's while others are stuffing 22's with minor issues.

no idea. the guy at the rim shop said there were perfect for my car just the wrong tire..but id rather hear from someone not trying to sell me something lol

Must be a really high offset to be rubbing the strut and NOT the actual fender. How much room between the tire and fenders? Any chance of using a small spacer? Fender liner is no big deal. That's an easy fix.

i have about a inch between the front of the tire and the bumper and about a inch and a half the other way

i dont have enough thread on the stud sticking through to get a lug on that great.. on the 20's i used the same spacer but had a lug nut that went through the hole on the rim to get a better bite but those wont fit through the hole on the new rim. (old rim had centercaps these dont)

i had 22s before but i only really rubbed on the fender liner. i had to do a little modding to the bumper clip as well.
