The answer to the first question is maybe. The answer to the second question is yes, they will screw up your suspension geometry and your car with ride worse, handle worse, stop worse, and accelerate worse.

Large wheels are only for looks.

MY POINT EXACTLY!!! 22" wheels are for looks so if you dont give a rats ass about performance then go head and get 22's.

On ebay this week only they have 22" TIS 07 for $1300 shipped. Anyone know if 22x9.5 5x114.3 38mm offset will fit without mods. that would be a 255/30/22 tire. Any 22 owners out there please let me know, sale ends monday. Oh and by the way I do care about looks and not performance because I dont have a V, if I had a V that would be a different story.

you'll need hub centric rings & some bigger better brakes, and you should be good to go

the tire is pushing it on the 9.5

oh & by the way, 1300 shipped for TIS wheels (22s, at that) is ridiculously inexpensive!
make sure theres a warranty on the finish & everythings new.

at that price, you can buy the lug nuts yourself if they're not included & have a shop make the modifications for it to fit too. (if you should have any problems)

I know thats why I dont want to miss out. Here is the ebay link, they are for a different size but I already called and talked to the guy about what sizes are available

well i have 22X9.5 rims with 235/30/22 tires and i still had to do something about the rubbing. so be prepared to have your fenders rolled.

[PearlCTS03]

i didnt know 235 could fit on a 9.5 rim. How hard was it to roll your fenders? anyone else out there with 22s?
