22" Wheel Setup Questions

]<ing · April 27, 2020

I have a 2017 Suburban with the factory 20s (275/55/20 tires), and looking to run a set of black 22inch GM snowflake wheels. I've seen a few pics of those wheels and they always looks a little too narrow and "tucked in" to the wheel wells (pics attached) which seems to make the ride look top-heavy. I don't know the offset of the wheels or tire sizes in the pics, but Custom Offsets seems to want to recommend anything from a 305/45 to 285/45, and they offer the wheel itself in 22x9. I'd like a good full wheel with a wide stance and no rubbing.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

285/45/22 is what they come stock with if they have 22s.

Appreciate the feedback. Do you happen to know if you can really fit a 305 on that kind of a setup without rubbing?

A lot of people do run 305s, so I would assume it is ok. Some big name tire shops won’t mount 305s tho.

305/45 r22 is better for a 10" rim
id stick w/ the 285

plus like kwOH said...most shops wont install if rim is outside manufacturer specs now

Thanks for the feedback. The owner (dealership) of the ride in the pics replied and said the tires are 285/45/22s. Am I the only one who thinks they looked tucked in and the ride appears top heavy on those?

Maybe in pics, I can see what your talking about, but 285s are fine, and as far a top heavy, thats just wheel gap, you can always lower it.

^ that

looks ready for a 2/3 lowering.

hit up Norcal SS (tony) on this forum & a few others. he has a good kit w/ spindles up front & springs in back

Appreciate the feedback. I'm beginning to think it's just how the 22s look to me and now I'm leaning towards 24s. Visually they just seem to work better due to the size of the vehicle IMO.
