I've decided to go with 22's - Need help
 
What size range should I stay in? 8-9.5 or what lower than 9.5? What about offset? And what are the max tires I should be putting on? Thanks

Anyone else have those wheel sizes of their 22's? I'm pretty sure I'm going with an 8.5 x 22 rim for all 4.

Lol. Looks like I better be on my way home, to my home of logic. There is zero benefits to a staggered setup on a fwd. Why would you want the skinnier tires on the portion of your car that does all the work? As Tuvok would say "That would be illogical."

I think so too. Even though, I must say if you have it like that, you should drive slow and steady all the time. But, I would like the look too. Though, if I did something like that, I would have same tire on all 4 wheels.

Why would you stagger a set of wheels on a FWD car? :rolleyes:

8.5" wide wheels are ideal and 9.0" are the max on these cars.

I'd recommend a 245/30/R22 to keep rubbing to a minimum as 255s will be far more likely to cause rubbing issues.

Match your wheels sizes, don't stagger, and make sure the wheels accent the car's characteristics. ;)

besides having to roll the rear fenders. did you have to do anything to make the 295's work ?? I am lowered on eibach springs and wanna put 22x10.5 on the rear with 295/25/22.
