Default will 22"s fit?

I think that 20"s look too small, whats the chances i can throw 22"s on my Is??? Also what tire size would i need?

You may need a professional opinion. Maybe they can raise the car up and fit them like they do with the monster trucks. If that is the case, then why stop at only 22"?

There was a thread last year where someone actually test fitted 22" wheels on his car. I'm trying to find it now...

Well, if you think that's bad, I went to one rim shop recently where the employees probably didn't even own cars. They knew next to nothing. I promptly walked right out.

22's, youre kidding right? I dont usually flame peoples opinions but go get a 300c

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.

Did you find the thread, or at least remember what it was called? If I recall correctly, it was entitled, "They said it couldn't be done" or something like that. I've been searching for a while now and can't find it for the life of me...
