Looks like a 9.5 rim is recommended for this particular tire size, but I just wanted to get some input from those that may have this set-up. Any issues at all? Thinking 275/40s, but if I can get away with 285/40s I'll go that route. Thanks for any help.
Will 285/40s be ok on a 22x9 rim?

That is what I have on order, should be fine. 265/40R22 is almost a perfect match to stock in overall diameter, but most of these tires don't have a high enough load rating. We need at least a 107. The 285/40 is 0.6" larger in overall diameter, so your speedo will be off slightly. At 80mph it will read about 81.5. At least that will put you on the safer side of the law!
In the 275/40 there just isn't as much of a tire selection. I know the Nitto 420 is available in this size, but I've heard it is a somewhat noisy tire due to the large tread blocks. I went with Yoko Parada Spec, and had to go 285/40 to get it.
What is the offset of the wheels? Stock is +56 or +50, depending on who you ask. 1"=25.4mm so to keep the outside lip of the wheel aligned with the fender as the stock wheel is, you should have around a +38 offset.

Thanks for the input. The offset I'm looking at is +30 and also a +35 option. I'm guessing it'll be fine. I just want something to fill the wheel well up a bit more and something that's flush with the body and not tucked in.
Good to know. Thanks for the info!
Don't have them yet, but it's a toss-up between viper reps or old srt-8 reps. I don't like any aftermarket rims that I've seen and I love the look of both the viper and srt-8's. Just can't decide on the color for my Granite D. Viper's only come in gloss black, but the srt8's come in matte or gloss black and also competition gray. Not sure what would look best.

Thinking these in gloss black... Viper Factory Reproduction Wheels for 2011-14 Durango CHROME

Yep those are the ones. I've never been a fan of shiny rims, but I kinda have no option if these are the ones I like. Strange that they make them in matte black and gunmetal for other vehicles.
My D is black. Too much black, I would think, if I threw those on there. But damn, those look great.
My '14 came with really good all terrain tires, but once they wear down a little I'm going to need snow tires (Wyoming is ridic). Next year, I'll probably rewheel the D with 22's and may go w/ the viper reps. They look like a Dodge wheel (cause they are) and they won't show off too much.
The thing I like about my D the most is 99% of people probably look at it and think "oh, a black suv." But that 1% who really know cars look at it and think "damn." I want to keep it subtle that way.

Weird you mention this wheel. I was inquiring about two different wheels (SRT, Viper) on customwheelexpress.com and he said he no longer carried them, which was odd to me, and insisted on the Lorenzo's.Lorenzo WL036

22x9? What bolt pattern and offset are you going with. I only see +15 and +38 offsets on one website I went to. I think 35 is fender flush.Lorenzo WL036

It's really difficult to find a set of the Vipers for the Durango. I contacted dmods and the only set of rims they have for 22x9 is with a +50 offset. That's going to stick out a bit too much for me.
I've tried a few other places for these vipers and I've had no luck. Only place I can find them with an offset close to +38 is: Dodge Viper - Black - Factory Reproductions
Listed with 22x9 5x5 +35, but yet again the bolt pattern here is 5x5 and I believe the D is listed at 5x127.
5x5 is the same as 5x127.
