Keep doing your thing I think 22's with the right drop is the only way to go. If you can stuff 20's on an IS and look nice, why not pur 22's on a larger chasis?

Malik, in those pics you threw up just now, they look sick. i guess in my opinion i don't like cars with big rims not lowered enough. those wheels on that gs look sick in maliks pics the first car looks like it would match if dropped another 1.5 inches. luckily the dude got a nice usable width so they don't stick out to far for the car not to be able to go any lower... see about getting the fenders rolled (if necessary) and at least another inch drop cuz it looked a little 4x4 in the pic.

also the car looks high off the ground too, maybe a slight body kit would do some good.

be carefully getting your fenders rolled. our paint is very thin and will crack like crazy. i know first hand and well as a few other members i ran into.

there is a guy in laurel that has a rolling 'gun' actually is the correct piece of equiptment to roll; it does a good job, but we have a section of the fender that goes from 2layers of metal to 1 and then back to 2. you can get a small dimple there if you are not very carefull.

That gs with the interade wheels is a show car and barely drivable and I don t care what anyone says differently i probrably could go a little lower if I didn t want the car to ride decent my fenders are already shaved and every bolt or piece of metal in the way has been grinded away to the point that if i go any further they won t be functionable i dont like bodykits the car is aerodynamic enough! stretching the tires and putting a 245 on a 9.5 inch wheel isn t going to make a car perform better either!

....still don't know what the fascination is with wheels that are too large for the car. Not my cup of tea, but if you like it.....
