Default Pics of 22" rear 20" front staggered setup?

Thinking of a new setup, sounds like it would be ugly donk but my car actually makes the 20's in rear look smaller. My setup now is 20x10 and 20x8.5 i was thinking of doing 22x10 in the rear. Different wheel setup big lips exc....

if you lower it more, it will look a lot better. 20" wheels actually fill up the wheel well quite nicely. 22" might be excessive, and will not to mention tires are going to be EXPENSIVE!!

I think the tire should be fatter in the back and skinnier in the front, but then again bigger wheels in the back looks better . You cant win ,lol

Just lower it more, and if that aint good enough add some spacers with a fender pull. I bet that would look RAD!

22's = adding more unspring weight/rotational mass = FTL.

Ok i'm not looking for opinions of how it would look. I was just seeing if anyone has seen and might have picture of it. I don't care about the performance of it i can engineer all kinds of stuff for that. I dont want complicated mathematical equations of why or why not i should do it. I just want to see if it looks good haha.

There were a few pictures of a heavily customized SC posted here a while back. I don't think it was the owner that posted them though.

If I remember correctly, he had 22s all the way around and with the kit and suspension set up, it looked pretty damn good. The interior had a brown suede wrap with diamond patterned upholstery on the seats. I wish I knew how to look for that thread...

Again wasn't asking opinions I always do stuff different then popular opinion, that's why this car has had 3 different superchargers for instance. Thinking of droping the back end down on 22's cuz front and back just looks wagony....

that wasnt an opinion, it was a suggestion..the car looks perfect to me, just needs more meat on the rear rubber.

my opinion on the matter would be that having a 22'' rim in the rear and 20'' in the front would look a bit silly and cartoonish..
