Question Do all 22in rims rub???

i had a question, when i first bought my gx470 i put 22in. panthers on it but i notices that when i turned the steering wheel to the left or right that the rims would rub and make a load noise, so i down graded to 20's, but now ive noticed that many people are putting 22's on the gx and i was wondering if they rub and what size 22's will fix that won't rub! Can anyone help with a size of 22s that won't rub???

what size tires did you have on your 22's? and what are the wheel specs on your 22's (22x9, 22x9.5, 22x10) and offset?

I am running 305-40-22's and have VERY little rubbing. it only rubs when you are turning and hit a bump at the same time, like turning into a driveway with a big bump at the bottom. But it's only rubbing the plastic fender liner so it is not causing any damage at all. If your 22's are rubbing you probably have the wrong offset on your wheels. I can't remember my offset, but if you search my posts you can probably find it.

Good Luck!
