Need help
 
HI everyone I am getting 22" wheels soon and was wonderinf if it is good to go 265 32 r 22 or 285. Which is better and why?
Thanks

it depends actually, how wide are your wheels? are they staggered?

BMWLOVER 05-26-2008 01:15 AM

The wheels might be 22x9.5 all around. I wanted a staggered lok thoough

310x30x22
 
I have 310x30x22 all round. But it depends on the offset of your rims. I have fitted 1.25" hub centric spacers on the rear to push the rears out to the line of the rear flared arches. I have no issues with clearance or rubbing.

Get the 4 wheel allignment done with your new rims and tyres fitted and you should be OK.

Avoid pot holes and kerbs.

Have fun.

Thanks. I was recently talking with a guy from a tire shop and he told me that 285 would look better becuase the 265 makes it look too thin. So i might just go with 285's.

I will also find out more on wednesday after I have made my rim choice final.

With 22x9.5, you can either go with 285- or 295-30-22. The former will give you the exact same overall diameter as your stock wheels whereas the latter is only slightly larger by 0.3". Don't go with 265 since the width is too small and the overall height is 0.7" larger than stock.

285-35-22 front and back is your best bet.

Krunk man Didn't you used to have 22 inch wheels? What type were they? Thanks

I also just noticed My chioces were 265 35r22 or 285. Not 265 32r22 .
