There aren't a whole lot of fans of the >20 inch wheels on here. I'm not sure that anyone would know how...

You don't have to lift up to 24s. Just gotta make some adjustments to the suspension. However I think your gonna have to lift for 26s and up.

Rubberbands on 22s should work no problem, unless your shocks and struts are warn you might rub over bumps, or with a full trunk / back seat.

At 24, you have to start modifying the suspension
