Not that you should ever put 22's on a track but my biggest gripe would be increasing the diameter by 10%. Unsprung weight and sensitivity to balancing become increased at the expense of comfort and performance.

That's not to say I dont think these look sweet in person (especially on streetsoffire's X) since I really like subtle OEM-inspired mods, but considering what a f*cking AWESOME time I had spending $1500 on 20" tires, I don't think I could handle the exponentially cool expense of going even bigger
