    New to the site. Just bought a 2003 Grand prix. I recently installed 22" on my car and got an alignment. The problem is when i go over bumps my rear wheels hit the fender. Any way i can add a coil spacer or taller coils to lift the rear? Thanks.

    i would suggest no mod other than losing the 22'' rims, they are ghetto. Nothing bigger than 18 or 19''

    Don't listen to these guys. Find a local shop that will roll your fenders. It is a pretty simple process.

    22s are played out.

    Get a nice set of 18s and good tires and save yourself the headache.

    Best thing to do is drop off the hood rims in the nearest trash can and put your stock wheels back on.

    are you guys serious? the next person to make a rude comment gets a week off.

    he wants to run 22s. it is his car. who are you to say what he can or cannot do? please go get a real life and quit judging others for having different taste.

    Not my taste at all but yea roll your fenders, if not then you can look around places like Summit Racing and they sell pretty cheap spacers.
