Default Tires Size fitment HELP!

Hello Everyone,
I have a set of Vossen VVS083, 22/10.5 wheels and would like to know what tire size would be best fitment all around with no rub? All stock suspension.

how aggressive are the wheels? that will dictate what size tire you'll need to run. i ran 255/30/22 hankook v4 on my 22x10J ET40 wheels

just want to clarify that you intend on running a 22x 10.5 all the way around. If you could even get a 10.5 wheel in the front then the tire will need to be stretched like a ****

I think the issue is that he is not running staggered . He wants to run a 10.5" wheel all the way around. I dont think its going to work in the front. Might need some VIP help

265/35/22 on a 10.5 is money.. I know guys are gonna s& ay 285,295 but on a 10.5 265 is a minor stretch which will give you the clearance you need.

Hit up Elivn "lbintab", he has the same set-up and you can check out his tires. He lives in the Bay Area as well. He is running 285/25 with no issue.

10.5 in front will be fine -- a few guys are running that wide up front. i agree with bonafyd that the 265-width setup would be perfect for that width of wheel. a 255/30 exposed the barrel lip on my 10j wheel

On hard bumps, I was rubbing on not only on the plastic area just inside the fender lip, but also slightly on the inner control arm with 265/30/22 up front with 35 offset 22x9 wheels. I suppose a 40 offset would clear the inner arm, but without some fender work, I can't see how a 10.5" wheel will go on the front and not rub on the fender. If so, I would love to do this, but I would have to use the 265/30 tire size all around and deal with a little bit of stretch on a 10.5 wheel since that is an ideal size for a wheel up to 10"

a 40mm offset will push the wheel closer to the inside of the wheel well -- perhaps you would need a 22x9 with +30mm offset?

I want to see this pulled off. I didnt think a Vossen wheel at 10.5" could fit in the front. Reminds me of that white VIP lexus from back in the day

Dang it...you are right..I meant 30. Lower offset is out and higher number is in...my bad. I was rushing on the post. Thanks for the catch..I would of preferred a 30 or 32 offset but my wheel didn't have that option..the new line of wheels are 30 now from what I hear. Maybe I can do a 3mm spacer down the road or something

yeah, a small spacer should help out with your rubbing issues
