Will 22 inch rims fit on a 1999 Buick Park Avenue without rubbing?

Answer 1

I have a 97 Ford Explorer with 22" rims. My tire size is 285/30R22, and turning the wheel lock to lock it rubs slightly. 22" rims will not fit on a 99 Park Avenue without rubbing. Question, why wouldn't you get 20" rims? That way you still have some space to lower your Buick and tuck the 20's. The problem is that the 22's will fit (but will rub) and it will make your ride 2" higher than a 20 (depending on tire size of course), and leave little to no room for lowering because your wheel well is 'too full' 22" Wheels will fit on a 1999 Buick Park Avenue. As long as you have a high positive offset (FWD) wheel. The tire you will need is made by Nitto Tires, 255/30/22. The total height of this wheel and tire combo is 28.0". The stock wheel and tire combo is 26.6" inches. This is a 1.6" difference, the only thing you might have to do is adjust the plastic liner that is snapped inside your wheel well, you will want to upgrade your brakes though at least to a bigger rotor, maybe cross drilled or slotted. You can't go cheap on the pads, or you will be replacing them every two months. There is more weight, which means more heat and wear caused by increased friction. Here are some more measurements that will be helpful too... 255/30/22=28.0", 285/30/22=28.7", 295/30/22=29.0", 265/35/22=29.3" 255/35/20=27.0". 22's will fit as long as you have the right offset on your wheel and you use the nitto n555 tire mentioned 255/30/22

These sizes fit 255/30/22 or 245/30/22 or 235/30/22 they all fit on buicks from park avenues to lesabre years 95-05 supercharge it if its not already. but the best size is 245/30/22 because its not too much tire not to little tire rides smoother, 235/30/22 is the smallest for a buicks, its thinner and you will feel every bump in the road but neither of the tire rubs.
