I'm running 22"s and the ride didn't change to much
Still has great handling, the bumps aren't bad.

I'm running 24's with a 30 series tire and it rides great. Another big factor in that is tire brand. I'm riding on Kumhos and these are by far the smoothest, quietest, low profile tire I have ever owned and i've been through alot of brands.

I have the same question. I am trying to determine if there are clearance issues or rubbing if I go with 24's on the front. What made you decide to stay with 22's?

I hear 24's fit with no clearance issues or rubbing. If so I'm going with 24s

wheel size

I have USWforged 22" wheels and vredestein ultrac sessanta tires. (275 frt. & 295 rear) no clearance issues and the ride does not seem any different than the 20" i put nitrogen in and that did make for a little smoother ride. i think the vredestein has more of a profile then some. i really don't think i could by with 24" around here (n.e. ohio) the roads can be a hazard after winter (pot holes). i have had the car lowered and it fills the wheel well nicely. i like the look (aacstyle) with the 24" in the rear and might have gone that route but didn't think about it.

The only clearence issue I ever had is, I went grocery shopping and had to take the Camaro and the trunk was loaded full with stuff and the tire was rubbing a molded edge of the bumper, but it was on the inside wheel well where you cant see it at all. It only did it with a full load, but i took by dremel and shaved the molded edge gone and its never done it again.

Nothing Bigger than a 22", Anything bigger than a 22" makes it look like a Circus Car instead of the Muscle Car that it is, but hey that's just my opinion...
