are 22's too big for an xr?

[blu xr]

im thinking that 22's will put it toward that 'donk' side of the spectrum but, im really not sure. i was wanting to go 20's, but i ran across one of my fave wheels w/tires for a decent price. anyone here running 22's?

they are forgestar f14's...not sure what the offsets are.

22x9 with 265-35-22 on the fronts and 22x10 with 315-35-22 on the rears.

22's look good on the xrunners. 4 of my friends are running 22's and 2 of them are djm 3/4

My opinion is yeah 22s are too big for an XR but I don't like big wheels in general. If you like em though go for it

It all just depends on what you like. I personally like the look. But I'm sure there are a handful of guys on here that will tell you otherwise. Those are some nice looking wheels though. :top:

They are very nice wheels. When I had my g8 those forgestar's were real popular with those guys. They were one of my favorites

I think 22s are not too big in the looks department. ... but I think they are too big in the performance department

im running 22s in the rear. and to be honest i find its harder on the brakes and suspension with such a big rim. eventually im going back down to 20s but the 22s do fill the wheel well nice. my opinion 20s max.

 

[hrspwr236]

22 will fill up the wheel well nice but it's more for looks as your performance will go down a bit. The wheels do look nice so I would consider them but ultimately 20 would be the biggest wheel I would go with.

 

[blu xr]

thx for the input guys...

some you who have 22's, can you post some pics for me?

 

[III]

at least those are nice 22's...

they'll fit with the right tires and offsets, but they're a bit too big for me. there's a couple guys down here with nice xr's with 22's tho, i gotta say. but for me, not my thing.

22 w/ drop

Without drop

I think 22's are alittle on the big side. I have 20's and love the look. I'd rather have 18's for the performance side of things. but 20's are a happy medium for me.

 

[Clewis333]

hey man. i loved how my 22's looked. but performance sucked. and they rubbed the wheel wells. i give a 10/10 on looks tho

 

[Red-XR-Pride]

22's will make your shit so incredibly slow. as long as you can get over that part they look decent.

 

[blu xr]

they dont look as bad as i thought they would.

wonder how the gas mileage would suffer since i started doing serious highway miles?

 

[Red-XR-Pride]

its gonna change quit a bit. it took like 3-5mpg off of mine.

Looks to be the Gaylord lids, not sure which model could be the x2000 or the tl difference is in the hinge type...
