Just wanted to bump this thread to report what i went through at my local auto shop.
Ordered Vossen VFS1 22" . i didnt know too much about rims so I let the guy at the shop order the wheels and tires for me.... i basically just told him Vossen VFS1 22" 10.5 all around w/ Toyo tires... I let the shop decide the OFFSET and tire size. Waited 2 weeks for the wheels to come in and got the appointment to get them install today.... unfortunately the rear tires DO NOT clear the shock and one of the arms.... I would have to get a 20mm spacer at least on the rears for it for work/clear.... I am a horrible driver and our roads are in real bad condition where I live so I really didnt want to go with 20mm spacers.... The shop said theyll reorder with vossen tomorrow since they have a lower offset that will clear.... (i dont remember the exact offset numbers ) but i will try to get that info tomorrow... just wanted to pass this along to my fellow CL members.

Thats really sad because any reputable shop should do the simple calculations to get you the right rolling radius to not screw up things like the speedo and other advanced electronics. Extra sad when youre buying a $$$ setup

The shop ended up ordering just (2) 22x10.5 for myrear but will be a different offset from my front. (the front 22x10.5 fit fine)
I am expecting my rims to come in today so they should be on the car by next week.... Will update the post when i do.
I doubt youll have any problems w/ the 22x9 setup.

Nice but a56kuser caught something and maybe your tire shop put two of your wheels on the wrong sides unless it was intentional. I'd definitely take it back and have them take a look at that. You mentioned that you had yours done at 11"? What were your offsets for the front and the back? Anyway, great ride n nice wheels!

I went with the Drag DR 69's in PVD chrome. Decided not to spend $$$. Liked resemblance to F sports, very reasonable price too. 20x8.5, same as stockers.
