To run 22's or not to run 22's that is my question

[Bigmagnumguy]

I need some help,, I trying to figure out,,,,, should I buy 22's rims and tires or 20's my mechanic is telling me not to run 22's on my maggie because over a period of time he says its going to wear down the suspension. He says that he spends alot of time repairing renta cars from AVIS and Hertz that have these problems because of 22"s. Now me I love to drive ,,but I also want bling ,,so can I get some input please.:racing:

he is kinda right. you will need to replace your tierods after awhile. i have had to twice now in 4 years but it does not bother me because i love the look.

I dont see why 22's would be any worse than 20's. Yes, I agree that with the added weight on each corner that it will take a toll on the suspension and brakes, but I have had 22's on my car since I got it in 2004 and have 52k miles on the car now and I am on stock brake rotors and pads and was on stock shocks still. That was after having lowering springs on the car for 20k miles and airbag suspension for 30k miles and I just switched back to lowering springs and upgraded the front struts because I wanted to, not because I had to. I say live for the moment, go with the 22's if you are looking for style on your car. My opinion is, if you are only going to put 20's on the car, you might as well keep your factory wheels on it. The only 20's I would go for would be factory srt wheels. Just my opinion.

Go big or go home I say! You know if you don't do the 22's you will wish you had.

I always thought I only wanted to do 20's until I got a great deal on some 22's. No regrets at all! But, you gotta get rid of the wheel gap with some coilovers or springs.

Get a nice forged rims. Why? Because a forged rim will way just about as much as the stock ones if not less. In my case, my forged rims weigh less than the steel stock wheels that came on my base. Ya know, the ones with the hubcaps. And my rims are 20's.

Alot of these "rims" shops are selling 22's with tires for $1200, why so cheap? Well, they are cheapy made and are very heavy.

Its like buying a fake Rolex, yeah you get the look, but is it worth it.

Centerline has great deals on forged rims.

Manyh people with stock 20s on their LXs are having tie rod issues, so 22s don't necessarily make it any worse. I have 22s and I will not go back to 20s. And depending on which tire you pick, the ride may be better. With Falker Ziex ST04 265/35/22, my ride quality is better than the 20" Goodyear RSAs that came with my MSRT-8.
