Need advice on tires!

[Logical]

I have a set of 22x9/10.5 staggered wheels. My F85 is lowered on HR Springs. Looking for recommendations on tire size and brand.

First thing I would do is go with a rim that's at least factory spec in size not meaning height but in width and as for tires anything from Michelin or Conti would be perfect.

What's the risk with going with a narrower wheel? Can I go with OEM tire size on narrower wheel?

There isn't a true OEM since 22s weren't offered. The closest option for 22s is 335/25 in the rear and 295/30 in the front. The OEM option would be 285/35/21 and 325/30/21.

Regardless, those sizes of 22" tires are too big for 9" and 10.5" rims. I could be wrong but I think the narrowest you could go is 10 and 11.5.

I do not know what tire options would be best for 9" and 10.5" width wheels.

Would this work 265/35/22 front and 315/30/22 rear?

There are websites that you can put in OEM wheel and tire sizes and then put in your specs to see if they would work. Headed to pick up my kids before the roads get too bad otherwise I would send you a link.

This is true. I've been doing a lot of research this week and decided to get wider wheels because I couldn't find and any tires that would fit the 9/10.5 wheels. Really the only ones I found were Delinte.
