Will 22 inch rims fit

I was thinking about putting 22x8.5 with a +45 offset does anyone know if they'll rub?!

Should fit fine, but it is going to raise your car and make it handle like crap. Oh, and kill the already mediocre gas mileage.

Very true. Factories and no drop I was getting 400/ tank.
22"s and drop mpg dropped to 250ish /tank Fit no problem. With 245/30/22"s and like u said it picks the whole car up 1.5"-2" so some Eibachs would fit perfect on 22"s

Although I kept great care of my 22"s.had for over a year and no curb rash or bends. Just a few Knicks on the lip. Be aware that my inside lip was cracked about 5-15 cracks per wheel ( prolly from hitting bumps and potholes with 30 series tires) or maybe combo of that and quality of the wheels itself. Still held air. , still drove straight. No pull or uneven tire wear just little mini hair line cracks on every wheel "s inside lip. Good luck. Had fun and looked good with mines for over a year. Back on 19"s and staying on 19"s lol

^For some reason, those look like 24's. I wouldn't go bigger than 20's. Even 19's can look good with the right wheel.

TIP: when you copy and paste your IMG photo tag from from Photobucket etc, you don't need to use the "insert" picture function...Then you won't have the IMG before and after each of your picture.

Yea the Eibachs made the wheels look even bigger plus the way the wheel was designed with no "lip" . Honestly I enjoyed my time on 22"s , it picked the car up to high for my liking. ,without Eibachs it made the car look donkish. Filled up my wheel well with no gap between the tire once lowered. . I think my wheels were +38/40 and 245/30"s no rub. At all so I'm guessing +45 would be fine with the right tires
