Just purchased a 2000 dhs and love it! Besides the stock wheels I can't find nothing I dislike. So I would like to buy some wheels asap and was wondering if 22"s fit without any mods to the car? If so what kinda offset do I need to get? I wanna purchase something that has about a 3" lip. If 22"s don't fit what size 20"s would I need to get to give me the offset and lip I want? Thanks for any info you guys can give! Sorry for the long post.

ive seen a couple of caddy's on 22's, but the only one i can remember (the one i liked) had TSW Carltons on it, hes on cardomain.com it looks perfect.

Thanks for the input guys! I ended up purchasing a set of 20's today and I'm loving it! Except it shakes a bit at highway speeds, I guess they didn't balance them correctly. Going back in the morning for them to get it straight!

cause the low pro's provide no cushioning at all
thats why im goin with 18 or 20 inch vogues on knockoff wires that poke out

yea the low pros can be annoying, seeing as you gotta avoid every pebble in the road. Yea alot of times your goona need to get them rebalanced, thats the general consensus when people get new rims. Gotta love those rimjobs.

The difference in sidewall height between a 20" and 22" low pro tire is .2 inches.
Then the 22" is also .7 inches wider than a 20" tire giving more traction.
The overall weight is usually about 5 pounds more per tire for a 22".
The overall ride depends on the roads you drive in and how fast your going.
comparisons made with 255/30/22 and 235/35/20. Yes you can get thicker 20" tires but you can also get MUCH thicker 22" tires so I just took the most commonly used small tires.
I've been looking to upgrade to 22s myself. I've already got 20s which were put on the dealership i bought it from. My problem is find one that I like that fit too.
So 255/30/22 is what fits best on the 00+ DeVille? What about offset?
