I guess now I can sell my second set of 87s and get those and roll 22s all year long.......

:iagree: It's really not bad at all. A little louder, a little more bumpier, but the car handles a heck of a lot better, and looks damn good too. :D

i was thinking of getting those in 20, but those pics off the 22 look HOT!! Go for 22's, post pics.

I don't think there will be any handling advantage running 22s over 20s. Unless you are are running wider tires on the 22s. Infact, if you are not, then the added weight will actually cause things to get touch more "lazy" in the corners.
They look great though.

not crazy about 168's...but those dont look too bad in 22's. how about 87's in 22's?

Might as well go for my rims then. ;)

Side profile looks great with less wheel gap than the 20's! But from the front and the back for that matter, the stance looks a little tall to me. Do we know if that is stock suspension? If it's a 4.8is, then what height setting is that? I wonder in a side by side comparison with one on 20's, what the overall height difference would be? I think I'd like those 22's if it was lowered an inch so that the roof sits back at the original height. Higher center of gravity will more than counter whatever is gained in handling going from 20's to 22's.
