Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

The tires will have to be so thin, you will feel every zit on the road.

And who knows what will happen when your car hits a pothole?

Stick to your 20's, and leave some refined class in your IS.

What is the lowest profile for tire? I run a 25 and its okay.

ReLexin, do it! I wanna see this. However, I dont think you can fit 22" in the front.

Hold on.....aren't you the one who has an AWD and wanted to know if staggered wheels impact the AWD


Now you want to put on 22's ????? I really don't understand why you would put wheels on a car that are just TOO BIG ....yeah, that's my own opinion.


IF you do put 22's, you would have to run a 185-25-22 tire to even be within 2.7% of the stock rolling diameter, if they even make that tire. Or, run a 20 series tire which I know they don't have in production. Talk about fokin' up your AWD system....


Or, just run the 22's without any tires and viola !!!!

Edit: You realize every inch bigger you go is just raising it that much further off the ground and making it look like a 4x4, it's not just filling in the wheel well.

a big (22")+1

Get some flush fitment. I don't want to see them all tucked in there.


Quick Reply: will 22"s fit?
