Wheels/Tires

Alright guys, I need your expertise on the subject.

I have a chance to snag some 22s for dirt cheap. They are 22x9 and 22x10.5. My question is, can I run the traditional 295/30 and 335/25 in 22" or are those waaaay too wide for these wheels? Would there be a tire bulge even with the small sidewall? Anyone have pics of this specific setup they can share? I need to make a decision by tonight.

TIA

335 are way to wide for 10.5"..typically you need a minimum of 11"

According to tire calculators, 265/35 and 295/30 should work. Anyone try these sizes?

I've already passed on the deal. Going with 451 Style reps. Sidewall would have to be 30F/25R for 22s.

What do you mean by this? I don't think this is a hard rule.

I think the idea behind it is to keep the speedometer as accurate as possible.
