22 and 20's...thoughts

Post by barryblakely »

First, will a 9.5" rear tire work? I'm wanting to slightly tuck with the H&R springs everybody uses. Thinking of going 22's rear, 20's front. Thoughts? Anybody done it?

Guy from AU successfully did it but he has Coilovers. THink that is key for the adjustability factor:

Make sure and get strong ones because every other thread I see on 22's on the AU form says they be a crackin

Yikes, that car confirms my initial thought that 22" wheels will look way out of proportion on a Caprice. That looks like ass.

I think they look quite in proportion, we got some pretty large fender radius going on. ALthough I think 22 is about the max.


20's on mine - hard to tell where the edge of the rim is since they are painted gray. Plan on chanign them to silver may show the outline better.

What do you think these are? 22??
