Default 22's on a Maxima

There's this girl at work with the latest gen Maxima with some chrome wheels. At first I thought they were 20's but when I asked her she said they are 22's. I didn't know these cars can take 22's. Also the sidewall on the tires were like less than an inch. She also claims it doesn't rub and that she can turn from lock to lock.

Sure, it's all about the tire sizing.

Here's a new Maxi with Eibach springs and Zone 1 three-piece forged wheels, 22x8.5
Tires are 255/30-22

I've driven the car, it actually rides great!

do you guys think that a nice set of 22 inch rims with a nice tire would look good on an ls.

Socalsc4 I have a hard time believing that a maxima on 22's " actually rides great ". A friend of mine has a maxima with the factory 18 inchers and I was amazed at how terribly rough it rode, i can't imagine what 22's ride like. My 90 accord rode much better.

Ouch, John ... you had to go & ask. It's still in the paint shop. My body guy- well, his dad is in the hospital. Family has to come first.
I have accepted the fact that it'll eventually be finished; it's difficult to run projects like this on a tight schedule... you know the deal.

I did see the car about two weeks ago and the metal work is incredible. It's basically ready to be painted now. New wheels are in the works, too; 4" lip on the rear...
