I have an 04 Intimidator on 22s its perfect! i dont have any new pics w/ the rims on but ill take one later on and post them. No Mods were needed at all. You just have to do your research on the offset and the WIDTH of the tire that way it wont stick out or affect your handling too much. Shes outta commission right now but i know she looks beautiful when they are out on the streets. But honestly after having 22's for a year they look small but its too much of a pain in the a$$ to shove a boatload of money in for just 2 inches. so im sticking to 22''s

If you have flush 22's, thats not terrible. I just hate when people see the biggest chrome rim they can get and slap it on.

I hate the contrast between performance and wheels. I really dont think people who want to put big wheels on cars care about performance loss or mpg etc. its the same with putting a massive stereo system in your car. of course its going to slow you down.

Im all cool with big wheels. but if you have to lift your car its just wrong.

there are plenty cars that have big rims that are FAST! mostly RWD but a few FWD's too. what it comes down to is if you want a fast car with great performance its not gonna be a daily driver, so get 2 different cars and go at it. much cheaper that way also...you wouldn't think so but it is.

Default 20in

I suggest 20in you will still have comfortable ride,good look etc.The car is a low profile vehicle going bigger than 20in ruins the total look to me.

i have 22's on my ss and i'll put money on it that mine is just as fast as a similar car with the same ci engine size. anyway most people with big rims don't care about performance.
