The ride must be loud as hell with those tires though... My S4 had 20's and it was freaking loud... I had 245/30/20 on...

I'm not a fan of 22's on the 3GS personally, but the wheel design is clean so it doesnt look too bad. Someone else posted a donk, but your car doesnt look that bad to me.

Most important is your satisfaction, enjoy your brand new car, drive safely, and thanks for sharing!

22s don t look bad at all when done right. You don t have to lower the car as much to close the wheel gap. They will ride just as good as a 20. However the car will always sit high, tire sizes are limited in 22 and it's much more difficult to have aggressive fitment and slammed stance. I have had both 22 & 20s and think my car looks 100% better with 20s slammed. Just my opinion keep doing your thang mang!

And when u step on it its a whole different scenario lol... but liking the rims bro
