22" hre Question

I am going to get some 22" HRE wheels for my 4.8... What width do I get them for the front and back? Also is there anything else I need to do to the ride to make the 22s work right (spacers/h&r springs)??? Any help would be great. Thanks

u should get a staggered set up so the rear rim/tire is bigger then the front.

Get 22x11.5 in rear

and 22x10.5 in the front

thats what id get if i was gettin a new set of wheels

I have DPE's with 22x10 all around and i needed to put rear spacers to even out the wheels with the fenders. An 11inch wide rim in the rear will be plenty to have a big lip and fill up the rear fender.

the guy at the wheel shop here said I should get 22x9.5 in the front and 22x10 in the back... do you think this will be to small?

With 22's I personally would'nt go above 10.5 at the rear and the front. With an offset to the rear to balance the front. Or drop the front to a 9.5. There is plenty on the subject if you do a search with lots of feedback from other X's with 22's.
My 10.5's run with 285/35 Diamaris

In know this is getting old but I just need to make sure I am doing the right thing. Would 22x9.5 with 18mm offset and 22x10 with a 12mm offset be ok or do I need to go bigger????

Before I give my own opinion. Which Style HRE are you talking about?
