no offense, but 22s are absolutely terrible and should be reserved for the people who will be driving these cars when they are 10 years old.

My buddy Adam is running staggered 22's with a drop and had to do a lot of modifications to the fenders and the bumper brackets. He is running a 245/30/22 in the front and a 285/25/20 in the rear AND he is dropped on eibach springs . Looks hardcore. Dont listen to these other guys . If there is a will there is a way. You can PM GS350on22's he can tell you first hand and he wont give you **** about trying to get 22's to fit

what size is your wheel and tire? im running 8.5 with a 38mm offset all around on a 245/30/22 tire and i had the most problems in the front. i had to remove the front fender liner, cut/bend the fender and bumper brackets so it didnt rub and also where the frame extension is on the back of the front wheel well, i had to hammer that flat so when i turned it did not rub.

all i had to do was cut about 6 inches of plastic on the back of the front wheel well ,im not sure what my offset is and if i turn my steering wheel all the way and floor the gas it will rub on the inside of the wheel well by the engine compartment. i ve put almost 20000 miles on it like this without issue

I know many guys that have run 22x 8.5 and 22x9.5 on tanabe's with minor mods done to fenders. They all have said rides like 20's and its not a big difference.

22's on a GS is a no go for me. 20 is max. Unless you want the tonka look....
