Default Pics Antera 341

Hey guys, just visiting from 3GS forum next door and I wanted to share some pictures of a friend's car. He just put on the 22" Antera 341 in Black and we oversized the tire a little to fill in the wheel well.

I'm really not a big fan of black wheels with the chrome lip or w/e, but that really looks awesome! The GX really pulls it off well.

while oversizing does fill the wheel wells on 22's n is usually makes the car more comfortable as well but it does throw off ur nav n more importantly speedometer n the odometer. nav can be reconfiguered but speedometer can't be. so while u think ur doing speedlimit.. u mite actually get a ticket.. plus wrong travel estimates as well.

The wheels are 22's and we oversized the tires a little bit to fill in the wheel well. Some minor fender mods were required and the plastic inner fender needed a little tweaking as well. Tires were 285/45-22 vs. stock 265/65-17. The tires filled in the tire well about 0.8" more to "eliminate lowering".

That's sweet.. where'd you get that chart? I was pretty close..

My estimate... 0.8" x 2 = 1.6"
Actual difference from chart = 1.53"

Looks good! I guess all the meat on the tires make the wheels look as if they were 20"s
