that G with the 22's doesnt look bad at all ...exceptt the Bentley Coupe body kit
serious I dont see u gettin 22's with 30series tires at least not in the rear most ppl with 20's have 275/30/20 or 285/30/20 u would definitley need 25's in the rear if not all around, my boy has 21" rims & 25series tires
another thing I noticed a big difference in speed going from the 19's to the staggerd 20's, I cant imagine going 22's u would definitely have to get ur ECU reflashed with wheels spec or u'll put a LOT of wear & tear on the tranny because of the weight of wheels & tires

thanks, that was the kind of stuff i am really concerned about^
wondering what else i will have to do so as not to mess up the car in the long run....
i could always change them later. i just cant figure out where to start...all the little things or the wheels first and then go from there......

Hello,
The 22's on our shops G are one off pieces. It is kind of pushing the limits IMO, but.... it is Intense (No pun intended
). 20's are more of the norm for a G. I will say, our G is my bosses daily driver, and he has no problems at all. No rubbing or clearance issues with suspension. Mind you, it does have a widebody kit, but we had the wheels test fitted on the car before the widebody was on!
Tim, You should come out to Lot 59 tomorrow! Show off that sick sedan of yours. We should have a couple of cars up there too!! Thanks!!

For showing purpose, sure it looks nice.
But in reality, is this car daily streetable? Looks like it can't handle California pot holes 101 freeway with that thin tire wall.
For daily driver, I don't think it's a good idea to go with 22". The bigger wheels you go the thinner tire wall you will need to run. That means it's a greatly chance you will damage the wheels with those cracks, bumps, and pot holes on the street.
Don't tell me you want to put those 22"s on your car and park it in the garage 24/7.
