    Firstly, you'll need ur guards rolled to the s**thouse. Call a few tyre stores & see what they have to say about it.
    I couldn't justify going so big, first pothole u drive over, either u burst ur tyre or buckle a rim. Hope u dont drive in Sydney!

    i agree, why would you want 22's anyway? the height of the car would be stupid and you would scrape, infact would they even fit? if 20's dont fit properly and scrub out on lock to lock what would 22's do

    its on the back tho, the back wheels wont scrub because they dont turn..

    watch out for pot holes tho.

    Maybe he has the typical "P plater busted Commodore" look. You know, how the front sits up in the air and the back is dragging on the ground? Maybe he wants 22 inch rears to bring the back up level with the front...

    would love to see photo's of any car with 22" rims on the rear, and 20" on the front. Maybe old H Series utes with the smaller size on front and a little larger rear, but not modern cars, especially the VE's i know the older 'H' series utes used larger rear tyres to assist with traction as they didnt have Traction Control and the like back then, the rear ends slides out easily in those as some of you may know

    IMO, I would have 20's MAX on it, cheaper tyres, easier driving, better performance and looks. There is such a thing as over doing it.

    for ute with 20's on front and 22's on rear? fail, holden vz with the same? fail. Really just don't like uber huge hoops on cars. I personally don't really like anything over about 19", just looks weird

    you wanted to see a car on 20's/22's i have a pic of my mates car...

    granted its a ford but somehow he got them to fit with little grief and its late model. so i guess its possible and the looks he gets are jaw drops and comments he gets are always positive,never has anyone gone "they are way to big"
