I am looking for some aluminum 5lug racing rims. My rims have T10x6 dot stamped on the rim the 5lug spacing is 3" hub 2*1/2" my tires are 22x8x10.But when i measure across the rim it is 11". If anyone knows of a website that rims and tires of the same size i would really appreciate it

I'm not following you...you might need to take a wheel to a tires store and have them use their little plastic gauges to identify the bolt circle. This site tells how to measure & calculate it, but for 5-hole it's a PITA: http://www.rimtec.com.au/Tech+Centre/484.aspx
Once you have the correct bolt circle identified, it should be no problem to find some rims locally or online. Are you staying with the current tire sizes? It sounds like the front rims are a too wide. The rim width should be narrower than the tire so the edge isn't exposed to rock hits. I'd use an 6" rim for an 8" wide tire.

www.mfgsupply.com used to carry them in their new line up of aluminum and chrome rims. I was going to link to it the other day but realized they don't list them any more. There are lots of cars with that bolt pattern. Chevy has a ton of them mostly rear wheel drive but that might work.
