I don't see a reason why they wouldn't work. If a 8.5" wide wheel works with 5 1/2" bs. Then a 9" wide wheel with 5 1/2" of bs is going to stick out 1/2" further.

That's what I was thinking, but I'm still on the learning curve with the back-spacing issue. I want to make sure I can tuck them...

I think I'm going to stick with a 20/22 combo. You start to run out of room with a 22 on the front of these trucks. It all depends on how low your wanting to go. Check out this thread.

Re: Post up your 22s
If you want to tuck deep and still drive on 22's you will need a narrowed track width, unless you get a wheel with mucho BS, and I think its still going to be close. The dropmember and 22x9 coys will drive ok tucked deep. Find the "Tootsie Roll" build and you will see what I'm talking about. It is discussed there.

I'm not going to put the rockers on the ground or anything. I just want the fenders to drop to the lip of the rim or so. I guess I should look for a 22"8" or 8.5" rim?

22x9 with 5.5" BS up front will be close, but should be ok. I have 18x8 with 4.5" BS which is the same as a 9" wide wheel with 5.5" BS. I'm running a 27.3" and before I pulled the inners, the top of my rim came almost to the bottom of fender at ride height and never rubbed. The tire was close but never rubbed.

Here's some old pics so you can see.
