22's on a F10?

I saw some 22" Forgestar F14s on a Porsche on the Forgestar website and thought it looked nice. Anyone think about putting 22's on? i would love your inputs!

I think you'd have problems keeping within the design wheel/tyre total diameter.
With 20"rims you have a sidewall height of 8.25cm; go to 22" and you'd end up with a sidewall height of 5.71cm, that's just 2.25 inches on your side of the pond.
Also, the wheels still wouldn't fill the arches unless you lowered the suspension - but you probably thought of that already.

I've say 21" is the biggset that properly fits the F10.

With 21" you have to use 255/30/21 and 295/25/21 so you're already in the minimum tire sidewall height.

And I believe that Porsche have larger OEM wheels than the F10.

But I guess it's possible to fit 22s, but they'll be larger than OEM.

yeah i saw 21's on 78maos car and it looked good but the price on the tires are a lot higher than for 22's which is why i was even considering 22's. I'll most likely stick with 20's then with the roads in downtown la i dont think riding on really thin tires would be a smart choice

I asked what tyre width and profile he has, it'll be interesting to hear what he says.
