Default 22s on a GS?

Does anyone know if 22s would fit on a GS, given the right offset? The smallest tire size I have found in 22s is 265-30-22 and by my calculations that is simply too big for the GS wheel well. Im not planning on doing 22s just trying to settle a little argument. Thanks

They will not even come close to fitting.

21's will fit if you have the perfect offset and can find a 7.5" wide 21" wheel. This setup looks stoooopid.

20's are the biggest that fit right!!

7.5 is a pretty narrow wheel is the 21" giovanna on that blue GS that thin?

Those giovanna's are a 21x8.5 with a 38 offset. I was looking at them for my RX but went with some 20's.

Default 21" look good

IMHO 21" look better than 20" It fills in most of the gap and if want to drop it you can another inch+ and not worry about scraping kit or front end and you look good rolling by

"IMHO 21" look better than 20""

Are you smoking boulders? Where do you buy your rockz because I want some. The 21's look STOOOPID on a GS, you cannot even lower it properly, even with a bodykit it would still be looking to high. And what is the purpose of 21's anyway, if you need to fill the gap, get coilovers and drop it down a bit.

Even the S-Class with 21's looks soooooooooooooooooo UGLY, not to say put 21's on GS.
21's will not look good on a GS.........STOP WATCHING MTV CRIBS!!!

21" looks bad - 2

Look up the old 21" post, about 98% agreed it was stupid looking. You right, you think it looks good so that's cool, that's your choice.

I still ask, what's the point. I would take a GS with 20's and a proper drop over any ghetto 21" setup.

"where do you live?"
Look by the avatar where it says Location.

"Is that what you drive?"

Yes, I just got a fresh set of "wood like" paneling put on. It certainly will not contend with your modifications of "ROLLIN ON DUBZ"
