Looks great, I have 22's too. I think 22 is the perfect size for GX.
Have you noticed that your MPG decreased?

Thanks! I have not noticed a significant fuel economy decrease, maybe 1 mpg or so...but definitely a good tradeoff for the looks!

Looks great, very stylish. I noticed 1.6 mpg decrease on average. But like you said a good tradeoff.

Sharp turns produce a few very minor rubbing issues, but they are not really issues, you can just hear them rubbing against the plastic. It is only at very low speeds that you can even turn that sharp so no problems to date. I dont know what the offset is.. where can I find that information?

Looks like they are MB Senna wheels. I have those on my GX which I purchased this April. 20" with 275/55/20 Michelin LTX's. If you were closer to AZ I'd offer to sell mine as I bought a stock set.

I am just trying to figure out the offsets compared to the tire sizes. I just ordered some 22's that are +18 with a 305/40 tire.
