I think that most people who have 22" rims run with a front width of 9-9.5 and a rear of 9.5 to 10.5. Is a 11" width for the rear too wide? I'm getting ready to order new rims and am not sure if 11" is too wide or not. Thanks
My tire size is 265/30 22 front and 295/25 in the rear.

The place you order from would know best. I know D2Forged likes to do aggressive fitments, so you might try them.

Thanks guys, I ended up ordering 9.5 in the front and 10.5 in the rear. With input from others, the 11 were probably gonna be a little too wide especially with my current rears of 295/25.

You can run the 11" and it will fit. We typically run the 9.5" front and 10.5" rear because the tire sits the same front to rear. If you do the 11" rear, the tire will look slightly stretched compared to the front.

Offset is critical for the look you are trying to achieve. We can do what fits with ZERO issues, or you can go even more aggressive if you wish. We have the most fitment flexibility out there so we can definitely suit your needs.

Shoot me an email and I will send you some images of cars we have done with various setups.

Thanks for the recommendation! Aggressive fitments are our favorite! We did a Bentley Continental GT a few months ago, with 22x9.5" and 22x10.5" Deep Concave Profile on the same vehicle. Here is the result!

Yes, I should have been more specific.

This looks like the tire sits below the guad at the front.
Does it limit the steering ?

My personal opinion only here. 9.5 in the front, 10.5 in the back. Gets me a little extra punch on the take off because of the AWD.
