20s... 22s... I'm torn. 21's?

Edit: Nevermind lol

It's gotta be either 20's or 22's...

Check prices and availability on tires. That might help persuade you one way or the other.

I have 22"s and I love them. At first I said I wouldn't go over 20" and then found a good deal on a set of 22"s and now I'm on my 2nd set of 22"s

If the streets where you live are in good shape, by all means go with 22s. I went with 20s due to the poor conditions of the streets (pot hole capital of the world) new york.

The streets around here are good. No crazy potholes or cracks etc.

I plan on keeping the 1LE tires and wheels if and when it goes to the track but I feel like 22s just LOOK amazing. It just seems to fill everything out perfectly. I know you lose some performance but most of my driving is on the street... cruising and having a little fun here and there. I'm not sure I'd really feel the performance loss...

I'm using this pic to A/B 20's and 22's. Props to their owners. Great looking cars!

Looks like you already denied the 21" option, which is good. Too little options for tires, which are typically extremely expensive. 20"s are ordered frequently, and 22"s look great, but of course, watch out for those potholes!

22x9 and 22x10.5 Forgestar F14's
Bronze Burst Finish






Good luck on the decision-making! That's a tough one!

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, those are all so bad ass! Honestly, maybe 22" is just right and not TOO big. I'm trying to avoid any bashing because it's a 1LE with 22's... All I can say is, I'm keeping the stock wheels for when I've got a track day planned...

I'm getting it dropped 1.25" with Pfadt springs... What tires would I be looking at to have a maximum sidewall? I like wider rears tires too... 315s?

In the pic of the orange Camaro with 22s, I saw the owner said he was running 265/30/22 and 315/25/22, dropped with Pfadt springs with no rubbing issues, at all...
