Have a quick question..... will 305 / 45 / 22's be to wide? keeping in mind the car would in this case not be lowered. the other size was 305 / 40 / 22, and both sizes were for all 4 tires. the wheels they would be going on are 22 / 10's all around.

I don't see a problem with them being too wide for the rear especially if you aren't lowering it. I thought 275 or 295 was the widest for the front though...

You would need a 35 sidewall for that big of a tire. I don't think a 305 would work in front. The biggest I seen is 275

Congrats!! Which Rims are you going with? I do want to say the widest tires up front would be 275 max. Especially with 22s, you might have issues with turning radius. Rears tires, I have heard of 325 but usually on 20s, You may want to stay under 305-315s in rears if you do plan to lower it. I think Dave, Stephen or Patrick may have the widest rears ;D. Hopefully they will chime in!

The package deal I was looking at was for GG 805 wheels with Sunny SN3980 tires is stagger 265 / 40 / 22 front and 305 / 40 / 22 rear, I have never heard of Sunny tires ? so the alt opt was for either Falken or Toyo's in 305 / 40 or 45 / 22 all around but that's just to big for the front
this package costs 2000 to my door. The USW ICE 2.0 were 4000 + and no tires. I have talk to Ben to see if the USW's can be had at a better price.

Hopefully they will chime in! yeah i have Nitto 295/30R22's out back was gonna go with a 305 on 20's but when i decided on the 22's i went to the 295 to have a little more breathing room when i lower her a bit. i wouldn't go over the 265 i have out front right now, they look good wide and aggressive and for what you would gain in just looks going bigger would not be wise or worth it in my opinion! our cars are notoriously hard on front ends as it is, ball joints and tie-rods suffer a lot with all that rotating mass of the larger wheels and tires were all using these days! i do tires for a living and for many years and its fair to say im pretty knowledgeable in these areas, so yep the 305's sound good to me out back although a 45 series sounds a bit tall to me, i mean im runnin a 295/30 and they look pretty good to me but a 305/45 would be 3.8 inches taller then mine, or 1.9 top and bottom, that's quiet a bit  |

Like those alot better than the GG 805 wheels. Black is going to look great with your black decals. Your bee is going to bee a show stopper for sure( Get it,"going to bee" ;D ;D ;D) Alright I will stick to my 9-5 and leave the comedy to the pros.
