Default pics: 255 on 9.5+22 / 285 on 10.5+22

Had some folks asking to post pics of this setup. Finally got around to taking the pics. I did have to roll the fenders for this setup. Sorry for the quality of the pics, I took them in my office's garage.

Just the rears. Fronts have plenty of room.

Tire sizes are 255/35/19 and 285/35/19. Offsets are +22 all around.

Default thanks

Thanks for this post, gives me some better understanding. I am not that great with tire knowledge, but I want my rear tire to be sunken in just a fraction more than yours, so, do I go with a few mm offset more than 22 or less? I know stupid question, but please help me. BEN

NP, and it's not a stupid question at all. If you want the rears to be more tucked in, you'll need to go with a higher offset. Something like +30 might be what you are looking for. Also keep in mind that my rear wheel is 10.5 inches wide whereas most folks go with a 9.5 inch wheel. Good luck with the wheel search and make sure to post some pics when you get them on.

What brand of tires are you running? Is the lip on the 9.5 smaller than on the 10.5, or are they the same?

thanx

Tires are BFG KDW's and the lip in the front is much smaller than the rear. There is a 9.5 inch wheel with a lip but the offset is +12. Only seen folks running this in the rears, never the front so I don't know if it will work out.

I run a 9.5/10.5 setup with those exact same tire sizes (and brand) but my offsets are +29 f/r - I'm lowered about an inch, but do NOT have any rubbing issues in the front or rear (the reason I tried this setup) - it's crazy that only a 7mm difference can mean the difference between rubbing and not rubbing...

Should be OK if your offsets are +22 or higher. I've seen 10.5 with 295/30.19 work with +22 and cut fenders. Post some pics when you get them on!

are you lowered? do you think if you wnet 275/35 in the rear you would have to still roll fenders?
BTW i really like the 10.5 +22 because of the lip you get but i ended up ordering 9.5+22 for my rears just to be safe and not deal with the whole rubbing and rolling fenders buisness

Do you know how much clearance there is between the tire/wheel and the shock/struts? Seems that +22 offsets will rub on the outside, but I'm curious how much space the +29 offset leaves on the inside.
