Default 22's on an RX 300

Hey guys,
I was surfing and I found an RX with 22's!!!! Yes, with 22's. They are 285/30/R22 with Dunlop SP9000. They're pretty nice with flared fenders. What do you guys think? And I thought I was gonna settle with 18's!!!!

Looks interesting. What is the rim width and offset. There are a few looking at options for there RX and the infor would help as there seems to be conflicts on what will fit. I still think that if the wheel gets to out of proportions it starts to look like a stagecoach

It seems like diminishing returns...Looks cool, but, I wonder at what point is there not enough air/rubber left to provide a comfortable ride.

The 122's don't seem to stick out too far, and there is still a good bit of rubber. What would I need, 655/55 r122? :eek:

i think after 18's u will start to lose ride quality. one guy said go with 17's and i said i want 18's, thats when he told me it will be a harsher ride. but hey, thats what we want when we buy bigger rims, its for show, the rx is pretty smooth already so maybe with 20's on it, it will then just feel like a normal 4x4. like an explorer.
in my opinion i would definilty go with the 122's just chrome those babies. you would be king of the wheel war. 24's and 26's ! ha! they would be so small compared to these babies.

That is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time.....

I agree that anything over 18"s is overkill. I guess it just depends on what is important to you....
