Is there a comprehensive thread with tire sizes and pics?

I've purchased 22x10.5 40mm rims and I'm wanting to know my tire options with pics of how they look mounted. On stock suspension with no plans to lower. Not sure of the correct pattern (22x10.5 40mm doesn't seem to be correct) to use search to find all the previous posts.

Thanks for any guidance/help.

22x10.5 means the wheel is 22” in diameter and 10.5” wide. +40mm is the offset, which is a bit high, you want it to be between +30 and +35. The bolt pattern is 5x114.3.

+40 is a bad offset for a 10.5” wheel. If you run say a 305 width tire you’re going to be extremely close to the strut body with the sidewall. I’d throw a billet 6mm slip on spacer in there to mitigate that.
