its stock height, rear fenders are shaved, 6x8 inches of plastic are removed from the back section of plastic in the front wheel well and the metal was sprayed with a rubberized membrane. It does rub plastic slightly in the front going around turns that dip down not enough to hurt the tires or cut any more out! in my "opinion" 22s look much better than 20s they fill the wheel well perfectly almost like it was designed to do so.
I dont care what anyone says if you lower the car IT WILL NOT RIDE LIKE A LEXUS!!! you should buy a civic, or lancer or something!

they sent an offset of i think 32, I believe it needs to be more like a 35-38 for it to work tthen the tire will sit more aggressive,

You mean less aggressive. The higher the offset, the less aggressive the wheel fitment will be. I'm still not sure why the interest in 22's.....

BTW...tire sizing is wrong.

i understand that the higher offset will bring the rim further underneath the car making it less aggressive however a 285/25 is going to be more aggressive than the 255! if you dont understand the interest in 22s then why did you click on this thread? Right. it must of interested you! The thread clearly says "22 inch asanti" so stop being a hater!

Your front tires are about 4" more in diameter than your stock wheels, which means you're speedo is off by over 4%. When driving at 60 mph, your speedo reads 62.5 mph.

Your rears are even worst because they are off by 5%.

With offset, the lower the offset, the more aggressive the fitment. The lower the offset, the more the wheel goes out and away from the car.

If you run a higher offset, you're not going more aggressive, you're going less aggressive and the wheel will be more sunken in. Aggressive fitment has absolutely nothing to do with tire size or even the diameter of the wheel.

I've seen very aggressive fitments with a 19" wheel with a very low offset.

The setup with 22's make the car look like a donk car. If that's the look you like, then that's cool since it is your car.
