Then you can count on the fact that you're not going to be happy with the stance until you get rid of them.

Re: Lowest amount of drop with 22s?

Dont know though, cant make up my damn mind. Keep going back and forth between 20s and 22s. Then once I find a wheel I want to use I change my mind.. Hell took me several months to decide on wheels for my GTO..
