Default Will this 22 inch wheel combo rub?

Saw this bad look'n Mustang vert on evil bay and woundered if anybody knows if these will rub like crazy? Looks cool. Or do you guys hate it? I think it needs to sit about one inch higher in the front, otherwise, looks pretty sweet. Mabe I'll do this to my car.

I think that 22" rims are a little too big for the car. 20" is the largest i would go on the stang (actually I did go that route).

You would want some sidewall for comfort and I imagine it is easy to bend that lip.

+1 from the side, that thing looks like its running without tires.

also, i actually like the front a little lower than the rear. looks more aggressive imo [8D]

The ride would be terrible and you would damage the wheels eventually on rough pavement or potholes.

22's are not practical, heck 20's are not practical either but 20's are the largest you should go.

Ilove 22's,because you gotta admit it looks mean. Like you guys said, impractical, potholes will bend them, and probably will rub when you turn. I must resist this incredible temptation. Thank for preventing an impulse buy.

Sorry but I don't think it looks that good. I like the style of the wheels but the 22's are just too large. It looks like it would spark going down the road!
