Anyone have 22" rims on their MC's? Trying to see what needs to be done, some have said nothing needed besides skinny tires, others have took different measures....Anyone?

22s should fit no problem with just a rubberband tire, unless your suspension is shot

PICS!!!!

I'm debating on DUBs or some 2/3 piece rims or just some rockstarr rims I like, the dynasty 557's.

can you lower your car with 20s and 255/35/20?

I had an 02 monte ss prior to my 06 ss. I had 245/35/20 on arelli spiga's; when i went to 255/35/20, they filled up the wheel wells nicely, but if you loaded the trunk with groceries, or had someone sitting in the back seat... You'd get an occasional rub on the rear lip of the fender. I was running goodyears. At the time they only had on 255/35/20. I think it was the hp ultra? Answer to the question... Dont lower it - (you don't need to; the 255 will give you that fullness)!

But on an 06 or 07 ss, you could lower it because the car sits higher because its set up for the 18s. (which mean adding a 20" rim is only a plus 2... Where as on an 02, a 20" rim is a plus 4 because it was set up for 16s).
