Check out Donk, Box and Bubble Magazine when you are out at your local bookstore, I am in awe of these cars as they represent a true mini-culture within the car culture. Plus, me and my team at work have had some good times checking out sites...
So to those folks who would like to put 22's on your GS, well, it is your car. I dont think it personally looks good but as many who would agree, would disagree, so when we come to talk about things that are subjective, like what looks good... to each their own.

the rims are the tis 07 and the tires are 245/30/22 all the way around. i didnt drop the car at all, the rims just fill up the wheel well nicely. if anything my car sits higher than it did wit hthe stocks. suprisingly it only rubs if i turn my steering wheel all the way and speed up too fast on sharp turns. other than that there is little rubbing and the ride is not bad either. with the rims the car seems more stable and you do feel the road a bit more. only negative is with a 30 series tire you have to be careful on any bumps in the road.
here is another pic, not too great of a pic. i took these the first day i put the wheels on and have been too lasy to get my camera out and take some nice pics at nice angles.

Dude
your speedo is off by like 7%, it says 55 and youre going like 60. Also you will rub when you turn the wheel right or left about half way as well, outer back corner of each tire rubs on the back of the wheel well, look there, I am sure youve scuffed up the blac plastic in there, 100% guaranteed
Not my cup of tea but if you are happy, you're happy.

Not to be too picky, but a donk is an older car, pre 70's, a box is a 70-79 or generally an older model but with straighter lines and edges and a bubble is a late model car with corners that are smoothed out or with some roll to em.

Well Donk is abused. A Donk was a Caprice Classic only sitting high, not every brand car with a lift kit and huge wheels.
Not my style but it is another form of art for enthusiasts.

expensive tastlessness....
do you need a ladder or jetway to get into your car????
I think I'll remain intentionally vertically challenged, and aerodynamically improved...
...and Sick, you hit it on the head of what I was saying earlier... Donk is abused.... in Houston... it's ANYTHING sittin' on big rims,... cadillacs, caprices, etc.. on huge rims, sittin high... not the intended usage... but got applied to everything, because people dig the look, but may not have the Caprice... I see more lifted cadillacs than anything around here... on damn near 30's....
