did anyone who has or had 22" wheels on the sts have a problem? because i was trying to get 22"s this week and the rim shop told me that i should go with 20's because i was gonna bend the rim really soon because it will only fit the car with 30 series tires. just want to know if he was bullshitting

Rollincaddys,

PM me or email me. I'll try to see if we can figure out if this is a good setup for you. I have sold a few sets of wheels with 255/30/22 and 245/30/22 tires. To date none have had any problems. The determining factors are going to be 1) quality/brand of wheel and 2) your personal driving habits. Email or PM me and let me know what kind of wheels you are trying to run so I can let you know about the quality of the wheel.

Rollincaddys,

I think that the dropstars ds02s in 22x9.5 may be too wide of a wheel for your vehicle. I think if you run this 9.5 wheel you run a HIGH chance of rubbing/clearance issues. Most cars we do with 22's are done with 22x8.5 or 22x8 wheel and 245/30/22 or 255/30/22. You probably can get the wheels to bolt on no problem, but once your car is in motion, I think you will have some rubbing issues. Whatever you do, don't let a shop "make these wheels fit" with lifters or any of that other stuff.

See if you can find a 22x8.5 wheel you like, I think it will give you less clearance/rubbing issues. I think the TIS 07 comes in 22x8.5.

Also, Giovanna and TSW make new 21x8.5 wheels.

If you would like, I will work with you to find a 22x8.5 wheel and get you the best beal possible on it.

Hope this helps.
