22X10.5 wheel with 40 offset?

Ah, yes, I think it was just the angle and the way the light hits the wheels in the picture.

My 285 don't look as stretched as yours do, but I think this comes down to the manufacturer. Some tires stretch differently than others. You can see mine in the first pics I posted in this thread.

What's the offset on your wheels? I'm looking at the same size wheel but with a +42 offset, I have doubts if they will work.
 
I have 22x10.5 +30ET wheels mounted on 285/35/22 tires (same specs as the one quoted by dougal). I took pictures with this setup installed to see how much clearance I had front and back. I posted them in my "build thread", but here are the photos.

Note how close the front tire is to the spring perch and the shock body. I would estimate maybe 10-15 mm of clearance between a 22x10.5+30 wheel and the shock body. Technically a 22x10.5 +40 wheel would fit, it would just sit 10 mm closer to the shock body.

I would not risk going any larger than 285/35/22 for the tires. They may rub against the spring perch, especially if you go with a 10.5 +40 wheel.
I think it would work just fine. The only real "problem" I have now is that the car gets dirty a little faster because the mudflaps aren't wide enough for the wheels/tires. I actually put a pair of 5mm wheel spacers on the rears, so the rear fitment is actually more like 22x10.5 +25. Here are a couple of old pics:

I'm on stock suspension, so no rubbing on anything. With +30 fronts, I have no rubbing or clearance issues. I'm able to make full-lock u-turns no problem. I don't know if 5mm will make any difference up front, but I don't think it will. I think worst case scenario, you might slightly rub the plastic fender guard if you take a sharp turn and hit a pothole in the middle of the turn (pretty rare situation IMO). Same thing would probably happen with +30 up front. I would go for it.
What do you think about a 21x9.5 +38 ET (front) on 285/45/21 and 21x10.5 +40 ET (rear) on 315/40/21? and I'm on stock suspension. Do you think this setup will work? Thank you so much!
 
Yep I think that would work just fine. Just make sure the overall wheel diameter difference from the front and rear wheels is as close to the same as you can get it, or you may run into issues with the AWD system. It will be nice to see the wide rear 315s from the back, I'm sure!

The rear wheel well is pretty spacious. I think I could stuff 22x12 +50 wheels with 335/30 tires back there if I wanted to, lol.
