well design and finish looks good, but 22's are just to big of a wheel for me on the 2GS.

Your right about that, 22's can be lighter that 20's if there made of lighter material, speedometer might be off though, watch out of those traps!

Doesn't look that bad but you need some aero/bodykit, something. The oem body lines are way too short for this big of a wheel. a clean bodykit and it might look decent.. congrats..

I'm with him on this one. Although; It does not look that bad do to the fact that you lowered the car a bit, you still need to figure out a way to get the body lines closer to the ground. There is a huge space from the ground to the oem side skirt that you must bring closer to give it an even better look.

actually it did rub when i first put them on ! i just had to shaved the fenders about 3/8" of an inch all the way around ! especially in the rear with the 285 tire. and the rims weigh aprox. 15.25kg/33.55lbs each. which isnt to bad for a 22" rim ! yeah the only thing that really bothers me about running 22's is the 4x4 stance of the car ! i think even if i drop it in the rear to even out with the front its still going to be kinda high even with a bodykit also ! so im shopping for new 2-3 piece 20's already ! i got my eye some MOZ "V-10 or BRANDENBURG" front 20x8.5 40mm offest and rear 20x11 50mm offset
