I see some guys going with staggered wheels on their FWD vehicles that make them look like ahem..Old Sckool RWD. Maybe 215X20 front 245X20 rear would look cool, keeping the same tire height should avoid trac-control issues.

With coil spring spacers you need the U shape ones I jacked up the rear removed both wheels removed the upper bolt from the shocks and the rear axle dropped down enough to lift out the stock springs place the spacer ( I used a 1 inch ) in the cup U side up then the spring sits in on top then replace Springs, Shocks & Wheels. Done
JEGS has them for $ 11.99 each. they are not sold in sets
any more ? just ask . )

There are a few here using 20"s, but not sure about 22"s.

when I got it looked like a old hot rod & besides everyone is lowering . but I like the raised rear look. It was only 1 inch just enough .

Gangster Mobile, try 19's as it would not be too big, then just wrap the rear wheels in a little bigger rubber, ex. 215 front and 245 in back.

Talking Hmmmm....

well bustin Balls is old school ... Don't let it harsh yer buzz man ...just playin around no one meant any harm my man.
Actually trying to do the same thing but with 16-17 in front 17-18 in back , want a slight angle but subtle smooth kinda thing also want to do a lower offset too on the rear to give a slightly beefeir appearance too...Unfortunately have not done all the math formulations yet as I wont be able to do it untill probably Jan. some time!
