I'm trying to decide between 20's and 22's. We are loking at a black wheels with chrome lip and just not sure if 20's will look to small in the wheel well. Black always seems to look smaller..what do you guys think? My wife and I are both concerned about the jump from 17 to 22 and the ride comfort. I know Angelslex said that his wife was fine with the ride, but not sure. any help would be great!1

The sidewall of the tire is part of your suspension, it flexes and absorbs road irregularities. The lower profile, the less comfortable it will be.

Besides that, 20's, 22's etc are HEAVY. That is harder on everything from your cv's to brake pads. I'm not saying anything will break b/c I dont think that's the case at all.
