You are forgetting the OP's first question? "can put 22x10 on the rear of a 2nd Generation GS 300/400"Everything I've stated in my previous post is based on FACT and backed by detail. You're delusional if you think a 235/30R22 is a proper fit 22x10 rim. Bottom line is that the GS is not designed to fit 22" properly. If you still want to be stubborn and argue with me on this fact there is no reason for me discussing this with you.
joclaroc some shops tell you no because they're right. Some shops tell you it's possible because they mickey mouse their work and do half ***'d jobs.
Here are the main reasons you should not run 22".
- Throws of speedo, gearing and ABS
- Will rub on front fender liner while turning
- Larger overall diameters tires will make the car look taller than stock.

oslouie, how can you say it would cost less to do donkers set up when you have to modify your whole suspension to achieve that kinda look? That's a half *** job you're talking about then, and that's what I'm saying not doing it right. Given the fact that there is a common ball joint failure to 2GS's, not doing it the right way just so you can achieve that look that you want means you're clearly sacrificing safety over vanity. Even on old school box type Chevy's(which are extremely built tough compared to 2GS's) they CUSTOM MODIFY the whole suspension you are really delusional in thinking that it will work.
For some reason this discussion is reminding me of cars with chromed out big *** rims and pu$$y wet paint jobs although the interior looks like somebody just s#!t in it and the AC/heater isn't even working. Completely dysfunctional.

YaKuZa_GS, watch the cursing and personal commentary please. You can make your points without them.
Let's keep this thread polite and mature, even if you disagree with the OP's modification direction...

22x10 is possible, but if doing 22's, you MUST get bags because our car looks horrible without bags [on 22's] I'm on 22's and when I saw how horrible it looked, bags was the next mod. Adding body kit actually helps very much to get rid of the raised look, paired with bags its perfect 
but yea, lots of cutting, rolling or shaving is required (negative camber is your friend too 
):
but I'll tell ya, the ONLY tires that will fit in there are Pirrelli P-zeros. All others have too much meat and rub on the rear bumper on the bottom.

Take it from Jokester. He knows first hand the trouble it takes to make it fit.

You're totally missing the point, I just said I used to be in this stuff so I'm not being judgmental about it, but remember you always gotta do it right. If it's 22's, looking at what oslouie did to his, it looks rightfully done, but any size bigger than that would look like a monster truck and no longer donkers. I myself don't do the exaggeratedly negative camber that you're talking about, but my set up is VIP. Like I said if you're gonna do something do it tastefully and do it the right way(which means you are not sacrificing the more obvious important stuff) rather than looks. And you GokuSSJ3, if you still can't understand what I'm saying then there's no sense talking to you.

We arent here to flame to the guy above who said that about us.
We are here though, to give you REALITY. 22X8 on your rears and its tucked? Without even seeing pix... i can tell they look funky and pushed in, no offense. Everyone has his.her own taste but 22's are just not made for these vehicles. 20x11 rear are max if you do it right. I have 20x10.5's in my rear pushing 285's and i love it. Again everyone is bias to their own judgement but i for one would not do it.
It has nothing to do with "VIP" or "Slamming", its just 22's arent the way to go.

And no 20x11 is not the biggest you can go. theres a guy on her with 13's in the rear and plenty with 12's with no camber.
