22inch Ek
I am thinking it would look about seventeen different shades of pox !!!
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Wire wheels would look stupid on an EK, let alone 22s - would look extra stupid. What are you trying to create? A 4x4 stance truck>?
If you want to put big wheels on, get some nice billets in about 17-18".
Just remember, with anything bigger than 15" or so, you sacrifice lowering potential, and a low car always looks better

i can understand width would be a factor, but how would diameter affect lowering potential (with 22's the wheel alone is probably bigger than standard wheel & tyre ) ? (as long as your tyre wheel combo maintains same rolling diameter)(AUST)Mod wrote:Just remember, with anything bigger than 15" or so, you sacrifice lowering potential, and a low car always looks better
cheers, luke.
PS: i was thinking of this same style of wheel in 18's, my mate had some so we threw them on and they look like a really chrappy micro machine (proportions right out the window)
here's a photoshop of ek with approx 18-19"
This has to be a joke right. 22's???!!!!
The only style of car they truely suit are early to mid 60's Impala's...... and even then only when they are 13's true lo rider style.
I've seen them on an XY and they just don't look right and they lift the car so much that they look jacked up.
But your car your choice, but I can't see them fitting without major wheel tub rework and front guard clearance will be a big issue. 14's rub on a really low EK.
