22"s Gotta love them

[07sportm35]

It is the Torq Thrust Wheels, muscle car look. I am already dropped on Eibachs with the stock FX20's, so I hope it sits as nice with the 22's. We'll see. Ordering today or tomorrow. Once I install, I'll post photos.

Lowered on Eibachs kinda scares me bud with that offset. I'd rather see you with a +43mm or higher offset with that drop. I think you'll rub with 9.5 wide +38mm and dropped on Eibachs. It won't hurt to take 'er in a 1/4 inch.

Yeah, I think I may have to go to Tein's...

Hey, 07sportm35, hate to be dwelling to much on this topic, but one more question:since you say that the front will fit the the 22x9.5 with a +38, can i fit a 22x9.5 with a +30 or so on the back? Tha would give me sort of a staggered look if possible.

[gigatt]

Thanks fiveliterbeater, not too sure how an AERO kit would look with 22's, personally 2 things I intended to NOT put on my car is the AERO kit and the MEGAN exhaust "no offense" I just dont like the way it hangs and appreciate the factory exhaust, maybe later I will, but not now.Looks like 22's are rockin for sure, check out some other rides on cardomain -Bigp100 - Nice ride, good choice, Im sure you hear that all the time......

+38mm is as far negative as you can go without sticking outside of the body of the car with 9.5 inch wide wheels on the front or back. As far as "flush with the wheelswells" the front and the back are the same.

NO!

Cool, thanks for coming through again

wheels look too big for the car...almost like a 4x4. reminds me of some impala's i saw down south with wheels that were so big it raised the car. also think there isn't enough tire. doesn't really look VIP.

[NBP45]

splurging on oversized wheels is the new look i guess...its unique and stands out if thats what there going for...

There is no VIP in that car. VIP has to be slammed (preferably on air), has to have deep dishes. But I dont think the OP was going for the VIP look.

I think with a slight drop, 22's would look really good. Right now it looks 4x4. I put my old 20's on my M and they look small. 22's fill the wheel well, but it also raised the car.

Drop it OP, i bet it would look really good.

You didnt see the right one And dont even think about pulling up beside it.

You can see I wouldnt even put a 22 on a much larger car. Its only looks and Im a performance gear head. I had a another SS with 22s and sold it. It was a dog off the line and only a cruiser with stock gears. Now if you go in and change the gear on the M I would rock some 22s staggered in billet or forged. BTW Ive yet to see a M on billets. Some BonSpeed or Intros would be extra nice you think.

just put 22's on my M-35.

It is riding horrible. Rough, steering shaking, loud etc...any suggestions?

[kingpin]

its very important that you know your car and get the proper wheel to car ratio - which means in short term (IT WILL NOT LOOK LIKE A WALL MART TOY) i am aware of the egos that some guys have bigger is better but on M in general you are better off sticking to 20 , i have rolled on 19,rolled on 22 but 20 is what looks great and i can still pull of that nice clean look .

With an older M 45 i am aware that this is a car that you have to run 20 , if not you are not looking for ride quality and looks you are giving up one we all know what that is ....the same rule applies for the newer ones ...

20 inch looks great (ITS NOT A 300 C dub edition )

take a look at mine sitting on Auto Couture maq...

[SICK-M35]

hey man,

i just put 22's on my m35 and it is riding horrible

Any suggestions? steering whell shaking, loud, rough ride?

[SICK-M35]

sorry to ask question so many times I am new on forum and still trying to figure out how it works.

I have 22" strada...just put them on today. I have 245/30/22

I am sick right now at the decision. I think the place that put them on has know clue what they were doing. That was obv. my fault for going there.

Why is my steering whell shaking?

[kingpin]

that is another reason why cheaper after market rims are s*** , they shake and never wil replace the oem's .

i am lost for words , take them back and ask for a down size in rims size tell them that they touch , or find an excuse - most rim shop will not take them back since they are mounted - do you have pictures ?

Yes..Cheap Chinese cast wheels suck. Sell them save up and get some high dollar rims. They are not gonna take them back. Maybe tell them to keep 20% or something.Petrol head nice whip.

[khaug]

Urrp! These belong in the ghetto, IMHO.

No doubt these are gravity-cast hugely heavy wheels (i.e., low quality). To maintain overall circumference consistent with OE, you'll need to go with a preposterously low aspect ratio tire with a 22" wheel, which will harshen your ride and make both wheels and tires waaaay too suceptible to damage from potholes and other road hazards.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but you should be aware of drawbacks attendant to selecting extreme wheels such as this. Me, I'd run from these puppies as fast as I can.

[szh]

Also see if the wheels will spin balance with < than 0.25 ounces of weight attached - some people would not allow this much either - without tires mounted on them.

Most cheap wheels don't pass this simple test.

[bigp100]

Are they used wheels? might be bent. Or if you think the people who you got them from are idiots how bout simple things like properly balancing.

[NightRiderQ45]

Once again, what makes a rim look "ghetto"? If you are using that term, please explain what you mean....if not shut up!

I guess everything about the new Escalade is "ghetto" huh since it has chrome factory 22's, tint, chrome finish all over the car....

To the OP, the car looks nice.

We are talking about plus sizes on cars. A SUV is a different story. Now add 30" wheels to a Escalade and thats too much. Far as I would go on that would be a 26". 22s are too small IMO for that Caddy

So if factory 22's are to small in your opinion wouldn't you agree that 18's or 19's on this car are too small? 26's are the biggest wheel you can put on an Escalade b4 you have to roll fenders or lift it, and it just so happens that 22's are the biggest you can fit on an M w/o modifications. So the only diff is one being a car and one being an SUV? So you think huge wheel gap looks good on cars but not on suv's.? I realize i could do 20's and lower it but its already too close too the ground for me. P.S. those modular society's are sick
