    For starters you'll definitely need coilovers & ur guards rolled.

    Monroe do sell struts that allows for 24" rims to fit, then again dont know if monroe make a coilover setup!

    Yeah you'll need some coilovers for sure.. and heavily roll the guards.

    Also 22's will look pretty silly. 20's would suit it much nicer..

    Don't you think 22" is overdoing it a bit? You can het yourself a really good exhaust setup, or a good suspension set up or even possibly a supercharger for that money. Don't be silly. I agree with Kal123, 20" would look better and it wont ride like crap.
    I just love the way other motorists on the highway think it's an unmarked cop car.........

    And Yes, it is a manual

    Yep, I knew a guy who had a VY on 22s and it looked retarded. It sat waaay too high even though he had it as low as he could go without airbags.

    Wow, i'm thinking about 19's and wondering if they're too big lol.
    Like the others, i'd stick with 20's max mate, less hassles and money

    This is true howeva it doesn't change the fact that it will ride like crap, scrub everywhere and look like it's jacked up on stilts lol 20's just look betta for pre- ve commodores.. Ve's can get away with it because of the larger wheel arches and suspension setup. If u want it to be driveable then get 20's max
