22x9.5 with 6.43 backspace?

With a 6" Rough Country lift will I be able to clear 22x9.5 wheels with 30mm offset and 325/50/22 (35x13) tires? Anybody have pictures of this setup?

Thanks!

I have a few pic's in my first folder when I was running a 6" Procomp with 22x11 KMC Diesels and 325/50/22 Terra Grapplers. With a 6.43 backspace you may have issues with those tires rubbing on your knuckles. They're fairly wide tires.

Are those the wheels you have now or looking to buy. If you are doing the lift already id go with a different offset...maybe a little closer to what the lift manufacturer recommends, but i know there are some smarter guys thatll jump on this for ya. Id say like highon22 said that those may rub. It also depends on how aggressive the tire too..just a thought.

They don't make the bronze Hoss in the offset I want. I have a white truck and I was looking to do something different. They have 20x9 in -12 offset which I think will stick out too far. If the 22x9.5 with 30mm offset fits I will probably go with that but I am worried they will rub on the knuckle like you said. I could go with some Toyo 305/50/22 and have a little less width to worry about.

They do stick out a little bit. look at my gallery, i just got my HOSS in chrome put on yesterday they are 20's though and they are -12 offset. Let me know if you would like some other pictures. Dont the 22's have a 0 or +5 offset also...Oh i see they must not make them that color. There was a guy on here that the company paid to have his wheels powder coated for him so he could get them... Maybe you could research that also. A narrower tire could help some.

I would want less backspacing on a lifted truck.

Look in my gallery. There's a white F-150 with 22x9.5 chrome Hoss wheels with 8" lift and 37's. You don't want to put a wheel with a +30 offset on a lifted truck. It will look to narrow, as if it will flip over. I have a -25 offset and my wheels stick out. Wheels that stick in are made for lowered or factory height trucks that way the tires don't hit the fenders when hitting a bump. Trust me you want at least a 0 offset on a lifted truck. Stay away from + offsets.

Here's a few pic's.
6" w/ 35's

22x9.5 with +30mm offset will still stick out one inch more than stock rim plus whatever difference there is in tire width.

Here's Hoss 20x9's with +18 mm offset and 13.50" wide tires. +30 with 9.5" wide wheels will only be a quarter inch further in than this:

The ones on the white truck are 0 offset. The +30 won't have much of a lip on the face. I know my wheels are 1.5" wider, but I don't have much room between my tire and knuckle. I'll take a measurment tonight. I looked at the Hoss wheels when I bought mine and they only have +30 or 0. I don't thinkl the 30 will fit though. Are you sure those are +18 offset because they look like a -12. The lip looks to big to be +18.

You're correct. It won't look bad from the side, but when you look at it from the front or back it'll look to narrow. I know everyone has there own opinion, but I'd try to find a lifted truck with a + offset before I buy the wheels to see how it looks.

To me the white truck on fourwheeler.com looks good. Doesn't it look like +18 offset like Blackout has? If so, the 22's I want will look pretty close to that, less than a quarter inch further in if I go with the same width tires (assuming they fit). Whether or not they fit is the big question.

I wish there were more lifted trucks around here so I could see some of this in person.

Those pictures you posted really look like they are -12. They look like mine. I think you will be pretty happy with the 20's unless you are dead set on 22's. Maybe your tire guy will let you try them and send em back if they dont work?? A 20 on a 35 is a pretty good setup, but to each his own. I like your idea, hopefully you can figure something out. A lot of these fellas have already made the mistakes for us to learn from! ha...good luck

Maybe they are the -12's. It just doesn't look like they stick out 2.5" further than the stock tires.
