    22's on R8

    I have seen some R8's on 22's. How does it effect ride quality and is this something fellow r8ers respect and condone?

    No matter how well the R8 rides on the stock 19" or even aftermarket 20"s, the ride compliance will be severly compromised by going to 22"s. I certainly wouldn't do it but YMMV.

    what...the...F!

    in the last couple days I have seen threads about air ride systems, huge oversized wheels, and other ghetto fabulous mods done to R8s. Just this morning on the BMW motorrad I some dudes stretched and dropped s1000rr.

    Pics?

    How is it possible to upsize to 22's? Your side wall ratio would have to be 15 on the rears. I say go for it and post pics.

    Should be just fine for car shows and rolling around at 10MPH or less.
