I need advice with regard to proper specification of 22" wheels. Should I order the 22" with the same specification as the factory wheels:
Offset = 35mm (front) 50mm (rear)

I am thinking of 9.5 front and 10.5 rear, but I wonder if 11" (rear) will fit with out problems?

With regards to tires I would love to have 295/35 all around or even bigger if possible…any thoughts?

an 11" rear would be amazing. You could fit a 335 tire on that beast! But I dont know the specs on Jeeps so ill let someone else chime in.

You could fit a 315 on a 10.5

But could you fit a 335 on the front? Remember, because of the AWD setup, all tires must be 1/4" from each other.

u can fit a skinnier tire up front with a taller aspect ration... they don't have to all be 335's

Do you have an example?...


My point is that all of the tires must have the same OD.

not sure on real tires but a 325/25/22 and a 265/30/22 are within .1 of diameter.. play around with that and see

Did you just send me to a Miata site :eek: :eek: :)


You make a great point, but with the current selection of tires, I do not know that it is feasible with a 325.

It will be very nice to fit 335, but I looked around and I did not fine the perfect combination

Anther good example is 305/40 and 275/45, but the overall diameter will increase by 2.6"

Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico 305/40 VR 22
Sidewall: 4.8
Radius: 15.8
Diametr: 31.6
Circumf: 99.3
Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico 275/45 R 22
Sidewall: 4.9
Radius: 15.9
Diametr: 31.7
Circumf: 99.7

This also a good combination, the only problem I can see with them is small sidewall. Also they are 0.7" smaller than the factory one which will increase the gap between the finder and the tire :eek:

I would love to find a combination that is 0.5" to 1" larger than the factory one to reduce the gap.

I'm not sure a 335 would fit in the rear. I think regardless of the backspacing or offset, they may protrude out the side farther than you'd like. There is some room to go inwards, but not much.

Did you get the same backspacing as the factory setup and do you think 295/35 will fit in the front?
Thanks

I went with 37 up front and 47 in the rear if I remember correctly. I have a 265/35 in front and 295/30 out back. The 265 isn't anywhere close to rubbing, so I know there is more width that could be added. So I can't say for sure whether a 295 would fit up front or not, but my guess is yes. That's just too wide for my taste up there though, on this setup. I've had as wide as 305s on the frontof some vehicles, bu for this ride, I felt that narrower was better up front (purely a personal choice).

I think it's somehow better for the steering response and for the power steering...
