    So much more comes into play here.

    Like the offset of the rims, the kind of rims, the weight of the rim/tire combo etc.


    The stock 225/60/16's are 26.6in in diameter, the 225/35/22 are 28.2in in diameter. That nearly 6% difference, which is alot.

    So that will throw the speedo way way off. The weight of a stock rim is only 16-18lbs, I bet a 22's will be 35-45lbs for just the rim and add the weight of the tire and you are pushing 60lbs. The extra weight will stress the transmission alot more. If you drove like a grandma it wouldnt hurt it much but I doubt you'll roll around at putt putt speeds.

    If the rim offset is low, they will rub........bad. With those tires, they will rub.


    So if it was me, I wouldn't even run them.
