It would look awful. But I like your choice of rims, looks good, real M3-ish. Why not just go with staggered 19's all the way around? Bigger rims dont neccessarily = bigger baller

man.... this time i gotta say... again? 20s can look good on the gs, but please nothing more than that

I know how guys feel about 22's around here but at least they weren't in the front.I like the kmc's I just don't want a 8.5 in the rear.Thats why I asked.

well with 22s in the back i think the rake look is going to look.... really rake, don't you think? and i think you probably need to raise up the car to make it not rub anything?

now why would you want that setup

I wouldnt do it. The wheels look nice but I have heard lots of bad things about KMC. 22s dont belong on a GS though.

I am not sure I understand this. The 22 spec and the 8.5 spec are independent unless kmc wheels only come with 20x8.5 and you'd need to get 22s to get wider rims.

I think these - 21-22-23??? examples. Maybe if you have tastefull rims, and lower it alot- then it will look ok

They are cheaply made. Mine started chipping for no reason and plus they're hideous. I only bought them b/c I didn't know any better.

NO!!!

The wheels I like, but the problem with going larger than 20" is, YOU CAN"T lower it a lot and still be able to drive it normally.

A lot of people think that if you can clear the outside lip, you will be OK. That's not where the problem is. Try making a sharp U-Turn even with 21", you will hit the inner fender. Do you really wanna have to back up in the middle of the street just to be able to complete a U-turn?

If you lower the front enough to look decent, you will rub on the top inside of the fender well. I am not worried about rubbing the plastic, but if you look behind the plastic, you will see a thin blade of steel running across the width wheel well. Now think what happens when your front tire hits the upper inside fender when you hit a bump going 60+ mph while driving in the rain

We already deal with these exact same issues when we try to slam cars rolling on 20's, what more with 21+ ?

Anyone who has 21+ rims and want's it driveable will have to have the car up in order to have some inner fender clearance. Then the car will be higher than stock and you will have too much gap to look good IMO.

If you like that type of look and don't mind stepping up to get into to your GS, by all means go for it, but why not just get an SUV at that point?

I'm not even gonna talk about what a dog the car will be when trying to take off and please don't drive behind me cause if I need to hit the brakes using my AP Racing 6 pistons, you'll still be rolling another 30 feet past me before you can stop.

Show car fine, daily driver Uhhh.


Now go do the right thing.

well i guess if the rim is narrow enough, together with some conservative offset, on full lock turns it might not hit.

but that's pretty pointless

Ridin on 22's is real big in Florida. I went down there 1 year for BCR in Daytona and damn near every type of car from Impala to Cadilac was ridin on 22's. Yes, they had the cars raised.

How narrow you talking, less than a 245? Yeah that would be pointless.

Rubbing the top of the wheel well will still happen though if the car is dropped anywhere close to zero fender gap I'd say.
