those tires sound a bit narrow.... depends on how wide the rim is?
285/35/22 is usually standard for 22's

Thanks. The rim is 8.5 wide. The tireguy says that 285 35 22 will throw the speedo off

Don't think they will suit the car at all and they look very cheap. 22" wheels are ok on the primary ride but do affect secondary ride (i.e. broken surfaces etc.)

295/30/22 or 285/35/22 would be a better option for the tire choice - see some pics below
