sel edge Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I jusy picked up a set of 22" wheels with a 40 offset 8.5" width. Im thinging a 265 is alittle to wide and should go with a 255/35r22. I dont want the sidewalls to buldge out. Any info or if u have this size could chime in on this subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETZ Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) The original oem Sport wheel was a 8.5", with 265/40 tire.You have nothing to worry about if you stick with a 40 aspect ratio tire. With a '35' you will be looking at possible bent rims, plus a bigger gap between your fender/tire unless you lower it.

sel edge Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Im not worried about the gap im going to lower it once i get the tires im more concered about the tire width. The ford dealership told me the 22" sport wheel is 9" with the 265 and my wheel is 8.5" and alot of websites say 8.5" is to narrow for a 265. I wanna see what tire size people are using with a 8.5" wheel on 22's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2FAST4U Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I have some 265-35-22's. They fit flush with the body with no rubbing whatsoever. Claude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sel edge Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Whats your wheel width? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETZ Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) READ my post again! The original oem Sport 22's were 8.5", with 265/40 tires! The latter ones are 9.0", with 265/40 tires. I have both these wheel sets, and presently run a 285/40 tire on the 9.0" version. I would not recommend a '35' on a heavy truck, unless you want to be on a first name basis with your tire dealer! '35' aspect ratio tires are for lighter sporty CARS like Mustang/Camaro. I have 345/25/20 tires on the back of my Vette on 13" wheels, everything inside the fenders!
