265/40 r22's are about 1-1/2 inch taller. and about an inch wider and should work fine if lowered. 253/35 rrs are close to the same hieght as stock, 285/45 r22s are 3 inched taller, and about 2 inched wider.
Id put 265/40s in front and 285/45s rear, but I like the hotrod look

I dont because I only have 18s. Surely one of the other guys here has what youre looking for.
