i got 22s on my car it wont rub. if your at stock height you have nothing to worry about. On the rear there is a tab by the bumper if you hit a hard dip it rubs but slightly. most people just cut this off. my car is now lowered just a lil bit. and it doesnt rub. i messed up my fenders when my air bag on the front went bad. but you shouldnt have any issues. even with a lowering module you can now get a controller to raise it or lower it at any time.
also triniexr is right as long as your offsets are right you will be fine. heres my car on 22's with slightly lowered. the rear is now just a tab bit lower then in the pic and no rubbing issues.

thanks. it should work fine. i dont even know my offsets but i would say its around there as well. i forgot what my tire sizes are but the front and rear have a slight stretch. its always nice to be different. i see our cars all the time with same type of wheels, kits, etc. im all for having a car be different then most you see. post up your pics once your done. what kinda wheels did you get?

My favorite gun is my Beretta Inox 9mm italian. It's the smoothest shooting gun I have ever shot. A notable mention I love shooting my Ed Brown

Not a huge fan of Hublot, since i think they are just overpriced and a copy cat of the Audemars.....Tissot do make good watches for its grade. NO NO NO to Invicta

I won my Hublot in a poker event and i love the watch its a very nice piece. I do like my Tissot very well made watch. I have high end invictas i think the cheapest one i have was 1400. The invictas I have are very nice. It also nice to have something watches from them that are different and outside the box of other watch makers.

I like the color of the wheels more than the style, but the size looks fine to me. Black out the grill.

I thought about blacking out the grill and hood emblem and trunk badging.

Just wanted to add some updated pictures of the car. No serious rub yey. Just a small rub on passenger rear but it's going away. First one is the AMG Benz that was at the Miami boat show.
