Default PA: SQ5 don't like 22" wheels..

I own a SQ5 3 months ago and I was looking for 22" rims on this forum and others, and there is so few threads, only seen no more than 5 SQ5 with 22"..


I was looking for setup and fitness, but there is so few info, anyways... I just ordered the XO Luxury Caracas Wheel in 22"X10.5" in Satin Black Finished with Nitto 420S 285/35/R22.




I will upload photos when already installed.

Cheers

The correct tire size would be 255/35/22. The 285/35 will be too tall and might also rub.

Proper wheel size would be 22x9 or 22x9.5.

What's the offset on these Caracas wheels that you ordered?

Doesn't sound like this guy knows what he's doing when it comes to wheel/tire fitment. (Sorry OP.)

FYI there are owners who put of wheels:
- 22x10.5J ET32 fronts and E27 rears 265/30/22
- 22x9J ET37 265/35R22
- 22x9.5 ET35 265/35/22
- 22x10 ET30 front ET22 in rear 265/35/22

I installed the Caracas Wheel Extension, that is why I'm going with 22x10.5

This week will arrive the wheels and upload some pics.

Looks pretty good! Did you take that plastic molding thing off?

And I can't tell from your license plate where you're located, but if it's legal in your location, TINT!!!
