well first of all, i don't see how that will mess up your transmission. i would like to see proofs on why
second, don't do it. let's not talk about the look, i don't even think it's feasible. no matter what tires you put on it, it's going to be WAY over spec and your speedo will be way off. plus you can't even turn your steering wheel full anymore coz' it will hit front and back of the wheel well big time. plus you can pretty sure forget about lowering the gs, or even worse you might have to raise it up. looks aweful to say the least

Not trying to offend you or the owner of the car in the pic, but that does not look right to me. That 22" emblem on the side does not make it any better. Plus no drop but I guess with 22s, the car would not be as useful if it can't turn that well.
BUT, you think it looks right so since it is your car, I say go for it. By reading CL, you'd probably already know all the potential problems that you'll have to live with. At the end of the day, though, it is your call.
Good luck with the decision.

GSunit- as others have said, its your car man, and thats all that matters. Since you found that pic, you have probably gotten a look at the thread that jondoe started regarding 22's on a GS (I think it may have gotten closed). Maybe try this (might be easier on your car / wallet). Since you want that 'over the top' look, try a 20" wheel with a flat face and no lip in chrome, and then lower your car. I promise it will have the same "chromefordays" look. Donz has a new flat wheel with no lip, it might work for you (is not too bad on the pocket either - probably 2900-3100 with rubber).
Good luck with everything.

I saw one with 22", but on AIR suspension thought
but still, 20" is the max. I will recommend - don't forget to check out our Group Buy

dam, do we need to have this conversation every month, as stated many times before 22's just look ghetto on a gs and it just isnt right, go with staggered 20's and u cant go wrong
