Default 22's!

I am not going to do it, but i was just curious if you can put 22's on the gen1, and if so what size rims (width) and what size tires woudl you run? Anyone got a pic of one on 22's? What size rim and tires do you guys with 20's run?

22s will definitely interfere with the front suspension upright- there's a knuckle above the front tire.

The shortest 22" tires available currently are 265/30-22 & 295/25-22, both are about 28" tall, versus your OE 215/60-16, which is 26.1" tall.

If you do this, you'll need to completely change the suspension, or use big fender flares toget the wheels outboard of the suspension
