what do you think about 22"s

I love the big rim look and if you do too, then put them on there. It's all about personal opinion and it's your car so you can do what you want with it. If you're not taking it on the track then it doesn't matter about performance. Just get what you think looks the best to you.

is there even a thin enought tire for 22's so the rim can fit into the wheel well?

I always want to point and laugh at cars with those huge rims. The owners think it looks good but it looks ridiculous. Oh well, I need a laugh sometimes.
It's fine to let it be done to SUVs/Pickups and old domestics but please don't do it to an Acura. Acura is above that shit.

^I think there's a guy over on cardomain with 22's on his TL. It was black with some pretty cool paint stuff, forget what its called - airbrushing maybe? Damn I'm still hung over. Overall I think 22s on a TL is overdoing it........ 20s max.

This is a joke, right? I don't mean the "2's" part, either. I mean the whole ghetto way of speaking. Does that make you cool or something?

NO WAY, MAYBE FOR SHOWS ONLY. BUT I STILL SAY ITS JUST A BIT TOO MUCH. (my opinion)
maybe some 22in. volks or advans if that was possible. this would differ my opinion completely.

One advantage though - you could probably drive right over the top of small children playing in the street. It kind of looks like you dropped a TL body onto a truck frame. Are you getting many questions about it being four wheel drive?
Sorry, that just looks wrong.

Dade - Thanks for sharing your efforts. Based on calcs it appears that the car is only suppose to be 1 inch higher than a stock setup but I swear that car looks like it's up on stilts to me. Did you have to do something to the suspension in order to "jack" that sucker up? Looks like someone could lay down under your car an not even get a scratch on themselves. At nearly 10% different than stock, the speedo will show 54MPH when your really going 60. Overall diameter is over 3-inches larger than stock so how do you address that problem? With the taller tire, your also not going to be able to turn the front wheels FULLY. I guess that may not matter to some but I can't see this frankenstien's monster getting through any of the state imspection points.
When you gonna git ser-rus and git you sum 24's under that bad boy?

Slammed - That's ONLY if your a slave to peer pressure from the a bunch of clowns, you may be right. The ONLY reason that 20+'s are viewed as attractive is because only those who can afford the RIGHT sized car can also afford the nicer 2's. Putting 2's on a TL is simply a demonstration that YOU DON'T GET IT. Some people think that dropping a set of 2's on a 1974 buick will also "somehow" make it more attractive. IT DOES NOT! IMHO you guys may just be a group of teenagers tryign to pretend like your sumthin when in fact your actions actually give you away as little more than kids easily influenced by meaningless peer pressure. Either way, we REALLY owe it to the OP (original poster) to return this thread back to him rather than running this childish banter (I apologize in advance to the mods for my comments which may have perpetrated this whole mess).

Take it easy. If someone wants to put 20's or 22's, so be it. I have 20's on my tl and it looks pretty damn good. Todays cars can easily fit 20's. If you take time to open your mind, the whole point is to get rid of wheel well gap. That's why you see people with 18's or 19's, then they turn around and spend more money to lower their car. That doesn't make much sense either! I've viewed this forum for awhile and I see people on here replacing stock 17's with aftermarket 17's! Again, open your mind and understand that both ways are achieving the same goal, no wheel well gap! Also, people quote performance on this forum allot. Unless one of you are Dale Earnhart, you really shouldn't be that concerned with it. I mean really, are you all out there like the fast and the furious? Come on! And by the way, I'm 28 so it's not just teenagers putting bigger wheels on cars. You really shouldn't comment on something you can't comprehend, "Mr. Corporate America"!
