Just to give you a perspective on how the 22's would look like




I'll leave the final decision for you to make.

IF you got the money for Lexani's go for 22's or get them in some deep dish 20's and lowered the car. I think it would look tight esp. if you got your max tinted just be sure to keep stock wheels for the winter or the salt will make love to them Lexi's lol

They'd look good, but you gotta take that GT-R bade off the grille 1st.

The lip on those wheels is nasty. They will sit and look real good on there. Definite yes.

What's the appeal with oversize rims on our sedans? I never understood it.

If you do a lot of driving I would go for 20's. You will less rubber on those rims. Boston streets and streets where I live is a big OUCH.

I all depends on how you want you're ride to look, Im really feeling the lip on those wheels but I went with 20s and a drop cause Houston streets are murder on wheels on top you have to consider the cost of buying 22in tires. The bigger your wheels the more likely you are of replacing tires more often unless you plan on modifying your suspension.

On paper it looks really good



In real world application it would truly suck. At least it looks nice

The rims are very nice, but I would go with 20"s. If you like it buy it.

These look hot but 22's are too much for any area in the Northeast..Too many potholes... and your ride quality would probably drive you nuts with such a low profile tire.

i had 19's..i moved up to 20's and i am extremely happy....if you gonna get em...just know the reason you are getting is to be able to say.. "i have 22's on my max...." other than that..you going to spend extra money on replacing or fixing bent rims and blown tires... but either way.. the wheels will look hot...

I would suggest that you go with 20s only because you'd have to have a sick drop to pull off the 22s. Not many guys are willing to do that.

Thats a very nice wheel though.
