I wouldnt put 22s on a seville... Youd never be able to find the right tire to work.....

Really spinners are there to serve one purpose, and thats to draw attention.. They do a good job at doing that and having 22 vs 20 just by natural logic means your going to get more attention! :)

22's????? I wouldnt do it plus finding the right tire isnt going to be possible. even if you are able to get them on they are going to rub. I had 20's on my seville and they used to rub. I cant speak for everyone else but i was pissed everytime you hear the back fender rubbing into those expensive tires (i had bridgestone SO3's). You can roll 20's if you are willing to live with that. I sold my 20's and got the new 18inch gold stripe only vogues 245/45/18 and im much happier with the look and the ride. just my opinion.


thanks

22's will fit on your El Dog or seville.. just get a high Off set rim or a narrow 22 such as 22x8.5 and ride ether a 255/30/22 or if your real risky a 245/30/22 tire

I'm not saying its a bad thing, buuuuut, I've never understood spending more on the damned wheels than on the car itself. 22's are pointless, in my opinion...I'd rather have the money to spend on fuel or beer or ammo, but anyways, that's just me.. :):):)

BTW, i dont mind spending that money or putting the 22s on something, they look nice on the escalades... BUt not a STS... The STS needs a nice 5 or 6 spoke wheel, something very classy... one that adds to the look of the car, not that IS the look of the car.....

I agree with you on that. Choose rims that enhance the natural gracefullness of the Cadillac

Here's a stupid question, but I want to know if they make 15 inch spinners? I think with my rear fendershirts, nothing else would fit?

That i highly doubt.

We did just go look for some chrome rims for our eldo at the tire shop and all the good looking rims are 19" and bigger. Wish they made the same style in a 16"

Wheels suck these days. I remember for pickups and/or old cutlasses you could get a huge triple swirl with black accents and they were REALLY cool wheels back in 1996. What ever happened to the "cool" wheels??

Here's a link to a guy with 22s on a Seville: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/473687/1

He's actually running a pretty wide 265/30/22. Offset is critical when fitting 20"+ wheels. It can be the difference betwwen rubbing and no rubbing...

I dont really like that but to each their own.....

A set of wheels like I have on my Q45 would be nice, i think theyd be STELLAR on a seville.....

Help what?

The reason it looks like its raised is because they have to use a much larger diameter tire..... Its not really raised unless they get taller springs, which they dont make those for the caddies i dont think.....

Using an adequate tire for a 22 woudl require you to raise the car at least an inch (looks retarted) and then the tire diameter (speedo and odometer) would be WAY off..... Can you see when you do one thing, it causes other problems you wont notice...

Speedo isbased and optimized for stock tire size!

Dont forget gas milage. I put 33x12.50's on my blazer which originally had 29" tires and my milage went from 18 to 12 MPG. Speedo about 7-8 MPH off. I think it gets worse the faster you go though with the speedo. cause it aint off 8 MPH when im going 2 MPH.

There are adapters that work as well.. You splice them in in between the ECU speedo sensors and it translates it. About $100

Actually, I have always liked his STS....

If it gives up on performance ,handling and the like, it still is tuff to me.


How is he roliing now, well, its up to him to chime.

I wouldnt go that way, being that the suspension is to finniky.

Shit is still to fat for you guys to realize....
