Not sure why you are attached to 22's. You could probably get 18" rims and 35" tires for the cost of 35x12.5x22 tires, then sell the 22's and make some more mod money

That's too much backspacing, your tire will hit the steering knuckle. Shoot for around 5" backspacing. You might have to run wheel spacers if you already have the rims.

Don't think the resale on used 22s goes that high. Not worried about tire pricing and if I planed on offloading I would have went with 18s and 35s + 6 inch lift

Already have wheels on, the website says 20s w/no less than 5" backspacing and my 22s are 5.96". Hoping they will work but I plan on using 1.75" wheel adapters from motosport-tech if it's a must. Lift goes on next week I'll let everyone know how it turns out

The stock 20x9 wheels have a 19mm offset (.75 inches) which results in a 5.25" backspace

Not for sure but think stock 20s have 4.75" backspace because the want you to use 1/4" spacer if your going w/stock 20s but like I said not possitive on this

My 22s XD wont fit without either 1/2" spacer plus grinding or wheel adapters, that with 35 trail grapplers, by the way I have the +22 I beleave, the other offset they offer in 22s is -44 and the wheel will stick out way far, according to wheel pros 4"
