Default 24 inch wheels

What all needs to be done to fit 24's? and hows the ride?

I was initially going to go 22's and still may but they look so small on this vehicle unless you drop it. Any input on this topic would be greatly appreciated. I also am searching for a data control module if anyone has any info on where to purchase it will be appreciated as well.

Up to you, but I think 21's are perfect.

You need to keep the outside diameter of the tires to within 3% of stock so I'm not sure what tire size you would need.....like a 275-20-24 which I'm not even sure exists.

Yeah my 2 cents is you max out at 22" for sure. No way would you enjoy the ride nor fit 24"s without major modification.

To each his own of course but as said 22"s look like the max for this body.

Kinda depends what you're used to! I've put 22's on four different GS's so for a car that is very much larger with a much larger wheel well, yes 22's look really small. But everyone hear agrees that 22's don't fill the wheel well but they prefer to drop it to compensate instead of going bigger which is completely understandable.

Oh I highly doubt everyone here agrees 22's don't fill the wheel well. Not sure where you're getting that impression from. From what I see a majority think 24's are way too big and most definitely not comfortable unless you're on a railroad...

22's- 22 x 9, 245/30; 22 x 10.5, 265/30

21's- 21 x 9.5, 245/35; 21 x 10.5, 265/35

Not really going to argue but I thought that it was kinda like simple mathematics that if someone says the gap is too big with 22's so the vehicle needs to be dropped that it means that it's compensating the look of filling the wheelwell. Countless post people state this. In fact I haven't seen anyone on here who thought that with 22's the vehicle didn't need to be dropped. It's all personal preference but you got it. You win.

I think other people here have mentioned that 21s are a good compromise between "that look" versus ride comfort. Unless ride comfort isn't important at all. At any of those sizes, 21 or larger (heck, even 20s) tires are going to be expensive and hard to find. In other words, if you have a blowout and you just can't roll into a tire shop and get a new one.

That's one aspect I'm considering, although I would never go larger than 20s and even then, that size is scaring me.

Personally, I wouldn't go larger than 22s if I were in your shoes, just starts looking funny and cartoonish to me, although that is very subjective so take my advice with a grain of salt.
