Okay, So the wheels I'm going to get (I hope) the front are (I have no choice in the size) 22x9" for the front and 22x10.5" in the rear

For the rear I'm going with 305/25r22

So which size can I get for the front so it doesn't seem too off in comparison to the rear?

I just want it to be balanced.

TIA

You just need to figure out what size is close to 27.2" in diameter, and 275 or 285 wide. Not sure you can get there in 22" rims, but maybe.

A diameter much more than 27.5" will make it very tight in the wheelwell. I assume you plan on lowering, so take a look at the camber/castor plates from Maximum Motorsports so you can dial in a little negative camber and pull the top of the tire into the wheelwell just a bit.

I would love to lower it, But I don't think there's any room to lower with a 22" wheel....

IMO 22" wheels are way out of proportion. Unless you are trying to build some kind of freaky car, this is very impractical for a daily driver. Poor handling. And expensive! Have you priced out the 22"tires? If you can find them at all that is. The 305/25/22 will be over 28"in diameter. Hey Madweazl, damn those panties are hot.

Wheel diameter doesn't matter as long as tire diameter is the same as OEM. Why 22" ?

Ends in 9 hours, I'm confident I won my free set of wheels... and they give you the ones that they put on originally on your car, So that would be 22x9 and 22x10.5 , I didn't choose it, They did for marketing purposes.

Biggest I've ever gone was 20", But I guess I'll have to get used to the 22" unless they give me the option to take 20's.

Congrats on what looks like a nice win. Have you thought about selling the 22s and purchasing 20s to put on your Ruby?

I'm gonna pull the trigger on Velgen 20s in the near future. Just have to decide on which style. I keep going back and forth on several styles, with their VMB8s in matte gun metal being my latest favorite.

I just checked and they only offer 22" and 24" in that wheel...

I might ask if I can get the other ones they had took pictures with on my car...



20×9 – 20×10.5

I actually liked them better anyways....

If I don't have a choice, I'm going to get 255/30R22

Diameter matches at 28"

BD wheels are awesome, the owner is a good friend of mine

You can do a 255/305 combo easily
I was looking, I forgot I had 10" on my 2013 and the 305's fit perfectly, Will 315's fit flush with the fenders?

I might go with some 20" if they give me the option, So I just want to verify that 315's will fit nicely on a 10.5" wheel?
