Default WALD P11F 21's or 22's ?

Lets say i made up my mind & i need further advice ...

Do 22's handle better than 21's ?

Talking in long terms usage any problems related to rods ? Vibration ?

Do 22's handle better than 21's ?
-weight: if the 22s are lighter than the 21s and assuming your wheel of choice is hubcentric, then yes, they will ride better. for example, a 22" forge wheel that is lighter than a 21" cast wheel should handle better.

-vibration in your steering column can occur if any wheel is not hubcentric or is mounted improperly. spacers can also cause vibration.

hope that helps.

handling? haha i don't think either 21s or 22s will handle good. if you want handling i think 19s or 20s max. between the 21s or 22s, i really don't see much difference. if i really have to choose, i probably would think 21s handle better coz' tires on 22s are too rubber band

Lets say i was going with

Pirelli Pzero 245/30-22 and 295/25-22

How would they ride ??

IMO a 1” drop would look much more aggressive and also ride better.

Im sorry P11F comes in 20's & 22's only.

*With Lowering what would look more agressive and nice? 20's or 22's?

*Any problems related to pressure on the gear in long terms?

* I dont want the back wheels lowered in a way the rims are not shown.

Go with the 22's. I have them on my car - Pirelli PZeros 295/25. You will notice a difference in the ride slightly and you have to be mindful of potholes the size of Mars. But, all in all, I like the look that the 22's give the car.

I didn't lower my car...didn't want to sacrifice the smoothness or comfort of the 'ride'.
