I wonder why 295/45/22 tires are all but nonexistent? :think:

any tire size can be made for the right price. Hit up Pirelli, they'll cut ya up some rubber!

So I spoke to the manager at the tire shop where I get all my wheel related stuff done and he assured me that slapping 305/40s on 9" inch wide rims isn't a safety concern ... he said the manufacturer specs are stated so that the tire sits flush with the wheel. He also told me he's installed many 305/40s and 45s on 22x9 and hasn't seen an issue yet.

I feel slightly reassured by this, although admittedly, not 100%. :think:

sounds sorta like what this smart guy on this forum once said... :whyme:

Doubt it would matter Serge. It's a recommendation.
