22 x 11’s

11’s are pretty easy out back but if you want them tucked under the fender it’s too much up front IMHO. Depending on the tire used you could get into some rubbing on the struts. 10.5 with a +30-35 offset is perfect for the front.
If you try to cram 11’s under there your offset and tire selection better be perfect.

I do a lot of wheel measurement for people here and FB...I think you could pull off an 11 at +30 with a 305/35. A 315/35 would be super close. Either one is gonna stick out past the fender a bit up front and I’m positive the 315 would rub the fender liner when turning. Moving the wheel in further would be super close to the strut on top with a 305...I’m not sure it’ll clear on a 315. With my wheels which are dead flush with the fenders the tire is already close to the strut. I’d have to get under mine and do some measurements before I’d say for sure it’ll fit. It’s just stupid tight with the struts.
So, where did you land on the 22X11s? Any traction? I'm also looking at wider is better. I won't even consider 22x9s since @UNBROKEN has already blazed a trail with 22x10.5". So we know that can fit - albeit with spacers. I'd like to give mine a run at 11s without spacers and see what I can fit under there. I'm thinking "autocross" look and feel.
Really?
Look at page one of his build sheet:
"Redline hood struts
McGard spline drive lug nuts
Bumper plugs
AFE drop in air filter
Painted f/r ovals
305/35/22 tires
New TPMS
Billet 1/4” wheel spacers
H&R drop springs
Steering wheel emblem overlay
And one thing I’m gonna keep quiet until it’s painted and installed."
Unless he took them off, he's running them.

If you’re not sure what it means I don’t know why you’re questioning my measurements. The rear wheels at factory alignment specs are 1/4” further inset than the front. To run a square wheel set at factory alignment specs and have both ends flush a 1/4” spacer would be needed in the rear. Nobody had done this yet...period. There were some unknowns until I got it on a rack and found a better way to get both ends flush by using the rear camber as a tool. Literally everyone running BC Forged wheels is running my specs so ease up on the “if you had measured right” talk...I measured right. In fact...I measure perfect.
Okay, have a seat and a sip of whiskey. That was not to get your blood pressure boiling. I meant if you measure once correctly you get the correct results. I didn't know all that other business. I'm new - read my bio it says "New Guy."
Why do you want it all square anyway? Why not simply get all wheels as the factory had them but in a 22x11?
