Anyone using 22x8.5 wheels with 245/30 tires? Any rubbing?

I posted this in the rim thread but I'm sure not everyone checks in there. I need to decide on wheels very soon and I'm wondering if anyone has any rubbing issues with 22x8.5 wheels with +45mm offset on 245/30 tires? The wheels I'm interested in come in +35 and +45mm offsets and I'm not sure which one to go with. I was able to find someone who has +35 and he said there is some slight rubbing on dips/bumps. Would going to +45 help or hurt with this? Thanks a lot for any responses.

Thanks, I saw you posted a pic in another thread. What tire/rim size setup are you using? Any issues?

I don't think using such a large wheel is a good idea. It would shorten the lifespan of the CVT by quite a bit, not to mention the large amount of unsprung weight that will be wreaking havoc on your steering and suspension systems.
