yea they are certainly not for everyone, I always had a thing for big wheels , lets see how they look installed, if they come across as too big I can put them for sale simple as that

i was sad to see they are non staggered, they are 9.5 all around I think, they are going to be a mild offset im sure.

If i like them i will be disassembling them, refinishing the faces, and getting two new lips to make them a staggered set up

9.5 in front and 10.5 in rear

checked out the specs on the back

does anyone know if 9.5 with a +38 offset will clear our brakes?

My dream of 22's has fizzled

too bad too because honestly they looked amazing.

wont clear front brakes, not worth the effort to get them to fit so they are going for sale.

Default My LS 430 on 22's

What offset are those? You can do 22's that clear the front break. Mine do barely but no caliber rub at all. And technically my offset is wrong. I'm about to sell these rims and do a 22 staggered with the perfect offset. Check out mine, let me know if you like.

I can see now. The lip is too big on those, you have to stagger that, the rim in the back fit perfectly I bet. No deep lip on the front and those would work

Those look great man , I actually sold that other set in the photos above and bought a new set which are much nicer.

Around here you will get nothing but flack for going with 22's, but dont let it bother you.

In my opinion 22's look great on these big luxury sedans.

These are 22x9.5 x 22x11- offsets unknown( I didn't check)

Default Looking good

I see I get a ruff time for 22's, but they look better and those rims do look better bro, good look. Do you get any rubb in the rear on bumps?
I'm in Chicago, you go less than 22's your not doing it right,

Thanks man

Yea the 11's in the rear had serious rubbing issues .

It was sad but I had to fold the lip and pull the rears a tiny bit, even after that they were rubbing the forward bottom plastic side moulding, so I had to dremel a little bit of it off.

I still need to rent some space in the shop and finish it off properly.

My fronts still rub a tiny bit on bumps, and they scrape the inner lining on full turns , but not enough to cause any problems , its quite minor so I might just leave it, I still have a full turning radious and am able to drive it safely.

I actually stopped liking chrome a few years ago , but these are a good quality 3 piece set that came off a Bentley, I actually really like them.

Your lucky your in the states, you have access to all kinds of great wheels , here in Canada its so hard to find good wheels.
