+22 offset is a waste of usable inboard fender space.
Unless he's building to a specific rule set that allows only 9" wide wheels, it would be best to maximize both inner and outer clearances of the fender. Keep the offsets at +44 to +55 and he could easily run 10" - 11" wide rims and run 255 to 285 wide tires.
