Alright, so i found a pretty good site. MrWheelDeal.

Hes given me some REALLY good prices compared to other shops and sites around.... Hes got rims with rubber or without.

So far im looking at the KMC Rockstar XD in 20" and 22"....

20" 929 for the set +529 with rubber 255-45-20 Federal Couragia(if needed) all balanced
22"1229 for the set +599 with rubber 295-30-22 Nexan Roadian HP

Shipping is 338 to where i am for the full package (both packages ) and 198 for rims only....

Im scared of rub.... and im not too sure if rubber bands is a good way to go....

Input from anyone would be great .

those 22;s will make your ride alot slower, and probably get worse gas mileage, their width looks like its 10 inches at least judgeing from the huge tire size 295.

With my 20s, my ride i a tad bit slower than on my stock ones, mine are 20x9inch wide, and 265/45/20 tires.


edit: also i think you are stock height, but with those 22s and how wide i think they are you have to watch out if the tire wont rub the strut, and also i think you will have to do some inner fender trimming

Im lowered 2 inches as you know, and the 20x9's with the 265/45/20 hankook rubber i have basically fit PERFECT, when i turn the wheel from the inside of the front bumper the fender lining, there is probably about half a centimeter before the tire would rub.

yes stock height, i was thinking of getting it next year AFTER my suspension overhaul, let it settle for a month or two and then get "fitted" at some local tire shops, see how they fit. not neccessarily the same rims but of same size/look so i know before i buy.
