22" wheels with 285/35/22 Tires

[JThomson827]

Hello All!

I must have read through the wheel and tire thread a thousand times, and can not figure out if anyone has yet to successfully run the larger ( taller and wider) than OEM setup.

Im looking to run a 22" wheel ( Most likely the Rohana RFX11 22x10.5 ET35) with the Conti DWS06 285/35/22 tires. Im figuring it'll stuff a little more tire to clear some of the gap ( I have the air suspension anyway) and close comps to the typically run 21" wheel and 295/35/21 Conti DWS tires.

The Numbers result to a .4" smaller width over the 21" setup above, with a .8" taller height. The main thing for me, is having some meat on the sidewalls ( as I chase a snowstorm every now and then) so its a 3.9" sidewall (on the 22s) vs the 21s with a 4.1"--so just about the same.

Anyone have any luck on either their Q5 or SQ5?

A 285/35 will not fit unfortunately. You can’t exceed 29.3” diameter due to the upper control arm clearance.

Your best options for 22’s will be 265/35, or 295/30.
The 265 will give you the most sidewall that really possible if that’s what you are looking for.

Thanks for the insight man! Time to dig some more!

Look at running 285/30/22.... that should work. Or 295/30.
