What size tires are you running? I don't think anyone makes the size to keep the outside diameter the same, which is critical with AWD.

if you have the money to afford a gs why not put 22s on it, everyone and there own taste. as of to my taste i think 20s are small. since when do sizes of wheels describe where you are from unless your riding dirty south highh haha. 187 keep those sexy 22s with that drop..

22" wheels and a drop is for the hardcore IMO. 20's are easy......22's are not. The look is not for all members but either is VIP or the DONK look. To each his own, but in my book bigger is always better for cars like these

mark you are correct, there is not a tire size that keeps the outside diameter the same. since the wheels are not staggered im running 245/30/22 all around.

that is not good for AWD. make sure the dealer does not see that; they'll give you some sht about voiding the warranty.

How about 20's in the front and 22's in the rear?Do the 22's in front rub when you turn?

that could be possible but you still have to make sure you keep both the tire sizes very close to the same overall diameter.

no more rubbing in the front. had to do several things to make sure it didnt rub. took 2-3 days to have it all figured out.
