Default rim question

ok i know yall or probably going to bite my head of for this but i want to get a pair of staggered wheels. My car is sitting on 20's right now but i kinder wanted to do a 22" staggered like 22 x 8.5 on the front and like 22x 10 on the back with a 265 series in the back or the same fitment with the 20's I am still deciding but leaning further on the 22 side it shouldn't slow me down that much in the gs 400 with 300 horses so thats why im asking for some fed back

i dont even think u can fit a 22x8.5..i know a dude with 22 but he has to run 225 size tire..unless u do crazy mod to the rear fenders. just my 2cent ill leave the 20;s and lower it.

22's are too huge. If you can pull a look like Adrian's car then maybe, but I'd shy away from that size...but then again, if you like it, go for it!

seriously?

scroll down to 'staggered wheel fitment'

forged wheels are lighter than cast.

you can also utilize the search feature in CL; quite helpful.
