Please correct me if I'm totally wrong on this. If I am, I cannot understand how companies are advertising wheels as b4/rb5/22?

Half of them aren't. I ran into this issue with my K's. The wheels all sit slightly further in by about 1-2mm - and the 2wd ones usually have to be spaced out as K's have really shallow hexes.
Car inspection....
Some nice paint work is required to make that look good..
I'm just hoping it won't be super noisy metal diffs like Durango. looks like a pretty standard layout though. I wonder if the metal towers are actually needed - and if they will release a CF tower later.
