No offense, man, but asking that question here is gonna get you destroyed. There was a thread about this a few weeks ago and the guy who asked it pretty much got ripped by everyone. There aren't too many people here (myself included) that think 22s look good on a Mustang. In fact, there are quite a few people who don't even think 20s look good.

You need two 15" subs first in a bandpass box pushing at least 4000W. Then cut the springs, add some underglow.

22s will bolt right on then with those modifications.


I'm half joking but most people here are intrested in making their car faster, not horidly slower.

theres a guy that is selling me some lexani at $1500, i think thats cheap for lexanis and i havent seen a stang with 22" so i dont know if they look good and i know that it will make my stang slower but i dont care cuz in some months a turbo will be ordered, anyone has a picture of a mustang with 22"?

Just wait until the new Camaros come out they have 22s in the back and 21s in the front. Why, I don't know but they just do. Anything above 18s are just silly if you ask me.

I believe the Boy Racer from 3dCarbon has 22's, and it actually doesn't look half bad with that body kit.

Actually, the 21'/22' on the Camaro are just for show. Things that I've read say that the new Camaro's will come stock with 17' or 18' rims.

But yeah, I agree with everyone, why put 22's on a Mustang, unless you are auditioning for a part in a rap video. The will just make the car slower and handle even worse because of the added unsprung weight. That is unless, you get 22' spinners, then the spinners actually counterbalances the tire roation, which will make the wheel turn faster and give added lift for help during cornering.

Word.
