Offset is determined by the wheels NOT whether its a 4..4 or 4.8!These 22" wheels you are considering will fit a 4.4 /4.8 equally!
With regards to fitment,these wheels will fit as described here by 993turbo on post #9,with the exceptions that on the rear you would only need a 20mm spacer ,since these 22" wheels are 10.5".
Furthemore,assuming that you will be fitting the "usual" 285/35/22 tyres,on the front you will not only be 5mm closer to your suspension components,but you will also be sticking 5mm further out,but you should be ok.
Hope it helps you

Also will running 265/35/22 in front be ok? The previous owner says that he is running that size in front and 295/30/22 in the rear. Will the front size work on 10.5 wheels?

These tyres will be closer to stock rolling diametre than the 285/35s!

The 265/35 maybe too much of a stretch on that 10.5" wheel!Also by putting the 265 on the front and the 295 on the rear,there will be a difference of 8mm in the rolling diameter between the two!The rear being lower!
Why not put the 295/30 all round?You should be fine.
If you realy want to fit the 265s on the front,do get the tyre fitter to advise if the "stretch" is safe

I'm running 22" wheels that are 10.5" wide all the way around.

Tire size is 285/35/22. No fitment issues and no rubbing fenderwells or anything. Your other choices are 265/35/22 and 295/30/22.

265 is a bit narrow and has less sidewall so you may feel the inconsistancies of the road a little more.

295 provides better protection if you're not too careful when you park next to curbs. Very similar to the 285 size tire.
