    Very unlikely. You'd have to have very small tires, and your speedo will be off, and it will be ugly, and you won't be able to turn lock to lock, and again with ugly, and your tranny will hate you...

    Why you want to 4x4 a grand prix?

    Anything bigger than 19s just looks too big IMO. 18s and lower I think looks the best. Still gives a big wheel look, but shows tire instead of having rubber bands around a wheel to keep the speedo right.

    Daves Panda on 19s and slammed. Looks great but 19s are $$$

    I with everyone else. Fill the wheel well by lowering it not by getting crazy big wheels. I would go with 19's

    Feel the gap by lowering it. I wouldn't go any bigger then 20s. 18s is my personal preference.

    And you must not know how weak our trannys are from the factory..adding additional weight like 22s is only asking for trouble and a hefty repair bill.

    this entire thread is why i hate this forum. he didn't ask about how you felt about how it would look. get ****ing bent.



    yes, you can probably fit 22s with the right sized tire, but rolling the fenders to accomodate them isn't that hard either. feel free to PM me or something if you want some unbiased answers.

    There's a reason few people have 22's on these cars...

    ...it's because 22's on anything other than a full size truck usually don't fit without a bit of work and generally look pretty ****ing gay.

    Obviously a lot of people like those rims. Whether you do or not is irrelevant to the OP's question.

    It all depends on offsets and your springs and such. I just started running 17s that stick out the sides slightly and between that and my springs being old and warn they will rub on some bumps. Will be rolling the fenders sometime in the near future I think. It probably wouldn't hurt if you did that to just as a precaution.
