how can you argue that it does look good? its a matter of opinion. your more than welcome to throw 22s on there. i think they fit well with a few minor tweeks but in the end its very hard to lower your car enough to make it look good imo.
here was my car with 22s
here it is with 20s
i just prefer the lower look over the bigger wheel

theres one lil small factor that seems to have eluded people, the damage thats going to happen on the tranny with running 22's, from what ive read around when you change up rims you wanna try and stay as close to factory in diamter size overall wheel circumference, for me Im gonna go with 245/30/20 8.5 all around due to I have an awd version and am not trying to mess that up

im with you 100%. thats the problem you would need to have adjustable coilovers. in order to make it work like you want it too. about the transmission. im not 100% sure but i have not really heard anything bad about our transmissions. my last 99 accord coupe v6 had a horrible tranny. but it was a known fact. anywhere you typed in the tranny model you got a bunch or replies. i ran like 8.5- 9 in wide front and back 19" rims on that car. i did mess up the tranny. but i knew it was just a matter of time. since ive read no bad reviews on the gs350 tranny im going to assume its a strong tranny. btw those rims dont look cheap. actually look pretty good.

btw tire size for 22s is way too big for the awd gs tranny. im not sure about the rwd but if you have awd i would defintily stay away from 22s since you really need to be within 2% of the stock overall diameter.

just because you have coilovers doesnt mean you can slam the car. that pics i posted was on coilovers. it all depends on your wheels. offset and tire size plays a huge factor in lowering also.

why would i want my lex to look like a top fuel car? this would be at most something to check out. not outright, do it. i see the car isnt staggered but the one i had gotten at first had staggered 20's and the rear did still look small. ( saw that car on the road last week, seems somebody made the mistake.poor guy/girl) what a mission to get this car to look 100%. i hope for the future 4gs they do something a bit bigger for the wheels. ive seen plenty of bmw 6 series,g37,and even 5 series with nice fitting 22's and low.its alright i guess ill get o it eventually. car still looks better on 22's.imo. i feel 20's are kind of small. maybe 21's! lol

I used to feel the same way that's why I spent damn near $8000 on a set of 22s. What an uneducated, impulsive mistake that was!! I always looked for overall size now I am fascinated with fitment now I can take turns ballin without running the risk of rolling over lol........

IDK the offsets.. i just placed a call to Asanti and told them the wheels I wanted and the size I wanted and they built them. I have no problem with clearence in the rear even with ppl sitting in the back seat. And the power loss is small considering mine's the 460.
