Default Wheel Size Help....20s or 22s, which is best?

Help, I recently purchased a 460L and really like the staggered wheel look but want to keep it clean.
I do not want to roll the fenders, I am looking for suggestions of a wheel I can just bolt on with no rubbing and look clean.....

Thanks for your help,
Jamie

20's without lowering your car will look way small! and will look odd...
If you dont want to mod your fenders then go 22's under 9 widths with higher offsets then you wont rub or have to mod fenders depending how you lower the car if you do.

this will help to

If you leave it stock height I would do 22's 8.5-9.5 or 9-10's high offsets in the 30's probably, just my opinion.

OP - if you can't decide between the two, you can do what I did and just run 21s.

Go with them 26"s MAYNE!!!

Lmao jk, I think 9.5f 10.5r is a nice setup, but it all depends on the offsets and tire sizes. Like cjitty said, look at that thread and you will get some good info. Good luck and keep us updated!

#truth i did the same thing. Wheels just landed and i should have them mounted next weekend. There wasnt much wheels that i liked in 22's and i felt 20's were a little to small so i opted for 21's. Good luck with your choice.

I thought I'd never hear myself say this to anyone else other than LX/GX/RX owners, but I say 22s. 21s are spot on but you have to be a baller for those like Brian

Yeah from what I've seen I like 21s the best. They don't look too small but they don't look too big. I like 22s, I don't think they are too big but they are on the bigger side.

Agreed. With my previous set of 22" Bazreias I thought they looked good, but for some reason I always felt as if they just looked 'too big'. That, coupled with the fact that I bought the Brembo GT BBK - I just had to get another set of wheels to show these off. lol

If you have a 460L it has to be 22"
