Default 22's on an 04 SS

I was wondering Can My 04 SS really support 22 inch rims with out rubbing and making an uncomfortable ride

It can be done, but it will not look good... Just my $0.02.

Don't pay RickAKATed10any mindhe would never know how it is cause he would never ride anything bigger than 18's. I had 22's on my mc last summer with no problems didn't rub and the rider wasn't uncomfortable nor did it slow me down I drove my car on the expressway everyday 60 miles back and forth to work and it road smooth as ever.I'm back on stocks now and I feel no difference from when I was on 2's.If you don't wanna lift it the biggest tire you can use is a 245/30/22 but there kinda thin I went with a 255/30/22 but I lifted mine.Also I suggest you replace your brakes before putting them on 22's is alot to stop.

How high did you have to lift it an inch or two?

i have to disagree a bit with u Solow. i have 245x30x22 and i needed a lift for my car. i kinda like the feel of sitting
high and plus my back was hitting the spring everytime i hit a bump or something. but 22s will fit without rubbing.
