Need some help with my tire size issue.
So... I just received and installed 22" wheels for my car. They were purchased by my car club prez. (long story as to why). However, I am concerned with the tire size. They are 255/30/22. I'm not the biggest fan of the space between the tire and fender well. Previously I had the same wheels in 24" (mistake). Now with the 22" should I:
A. Replace 255/30/22 with a different size tire ( if so all four or just two and what size) B. Drop vehicle ( if so how much) C. Spend no more money... Leave as is and move on. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry for pic resolution |

lower your car and you will be happy...
265/30 is the largest you could go to be sure you have no rubbing... not sure if you could get away with 255/35 or 265/35.. some members do and some dont that depends on your offsets... but while those will help, it will be minimal. drop the car |

Tire size doesn't match the vehicle. Why would anyone take a performance vehicle and install a tire that reduces the capability of the car?
I'm not trying to bash. The wheels are not bad, but 22s make it look like pimp my ride. |

I just saw that you're in Savannah. Are you stationed at Hunter AAF? Your club Prez should know better!
