The biggest issue is the tires. You are soooooo limited on what tires you can purchase and so your going to pay for that too.

I took them off so they could get repainted as soon as they re done they ll be back on the car!!! Honestly! If i were to get anotherr wheel it would still be a 22 just a more aggressive offset!

I could have sworn you posted about issues of drivability.

I have nothing against 22's. If I had an LS460 or Benz S-Class, it would be 22 all the way. At least 21's.
But the GS wan't built for them. Anyone should be able to see that.

well the paint is exactly the problem. you had a previous thread all about it and how painful (and irresponsible) asanti is. you also said if they were to fix this time, you will sell them. but guess not

Sounds like your setting yourself up for jail time. Better hope they don't google you. LOL

Enjoy your freedom while you have it bud.

your just digging a bigger hole. im no detective but dont think insurance people dont look on car forums when claims for stolen property come in, especially for a big amount.

I don't think it's a matter of fitting them on the car, it's a matter of balance.

Just because you can put 20's on a Civic doesn't mean you should.
