Tire size on 22" rims?
I am looking to put on 22 inch rims on my Camaro. I see that others have too on the forum but what size tire do I have to get? I certainly don't want to get tires too big so that they rub on the car or something. Also, will the performance of the car change much with lower profile tires?

Below is a shortcut to a thread that Nine Ball did for all of us to ensure you run the closest sizing to the original stock 20's and should have no problems. I ordered 22x9 front and 22x11 rear and am putting on 265/30/22 and 315/25/22.

Do you guys running 265/35/22 and 315/30/22 have rubbing issues on the lower spring perch (front) or inner fender well (rear) on lowered cars?
Some of our customers report slight rubbing, some report no issues whatsoever. |

In this situation, wheel offset, tire width and brand (some run wider), and tire height are the main culprits on clearance issues. Tony

265/35-22 is a tall tire. The 265/30-22 is a better fit for these cars. I have the 265/30 on my lowered car and it has plenty of clearance.

I'm running 265/35/22 front and 285/35/22 rear with no rubbing at all. Only reason I went with that sizing is to match as close as possible the factory load rating, which is 106 by the way. My 22's have a load rating of 106 in the rear and 99 in the front. It is definitely a tall tire, but luckily these are just for show, not for everyday.

Of course this is true, I was speaking more towards rubbing the rear fender with the 'lowered cars' qualifier
Excellent info! 265/35 is what people have always run since I guess it's easier to find matching 265/35 and 315/30's. Do you know of any affordable combinations (Nitto Invo, etc) in those combos Tony? |
