Just one thing to remember is that your rears will be 285/25/22 as you mentioned. Since your drivetrain (shaft, rear axles) are what youre engine is connected to, the tire is 6 inches larger in circumference compared to stock. Speedo will show 7.4 % too slow, meaning it shows 70 on the highway, you are really doing 75.

I only rub on plastic in the front once i remove that and shave the fenders it should only rub slightly if at all. The kit i ordered is only a.8 in the front .6 in the rear just enough to sit down on the wheels im not tucking them in i don t like that look anyway

im lowered with coilovers on 22s and i dont have much of a problem. granted it took some work but i only rub on big dips in the road and turning into some lots that have a steep incline.

where there is a will there is a way. I have to admit that even after you do all you can do to make it fit ( shave bumper brackets, roll and cut fenders) it will still rub a bit most likely . 22's can be done with a lot of work. I am not willing personally to get myself into a headache that big. I have already got issue with trying 255/30 instead of the 245/30/20 in the front. I had to raise the car a bit to make it work and now I am not happy with the stance. I ordered a higher tread wear tire and hope I can put her all the back down on the coilovers with a bit more life from the tires. Thats nothing compared to the trial and error you are going to have to deal with. GS350onn22's did the drop with 22's and a staggered fitment . you might want to PM him
