22" would look horrific. You may as well be driving an SRT8. What's up with the smoked 19" twin spokes? They're some of the nicest wheels on the market.

Ok thanks for replying guys ok lets forget about the diameter maybe 22" or 21" was a bad idea i need width, to stick on wider tires what can i go for maximum width of the rims 10.5" or 11"???
