I can understand wider wheels putting more stress on suspension/drive parts, but not larger diameter wheels? My tyres are slightly wider, but the rims themselves are 10J, the same as the OEM 19s.
19" wheel = 482.6mm diameter
285.45.19 tyre = 128.25mm sidewall (rear)
482.6 + 128.25 + 128.25 = 739.1mm overall diameter
22" wheel = 558.8mm diameter
295.30.22 tyre = 88.5mm sidewall
558.8 + 88.5 + 88.5 = 735.8mm overall diameter

You are right mate!Dont see any issues with your 22" ,only if they are heavier but even then that would be only a negligible difference.In the case of Kahns being an upmarket wheel,I wouldnt be surprised if they even lighter than oem!
Also ,this site been going almost 6 years and I dont see a lot issues or complaints from members using 22",except the ride confort but then again I also lost confort from oem 19s to oem 20s...but gained on handling .
Your wheels look nice and not too out of character with the car...enjoy them
