That’s true, mnelson. I’ve read that while larger rims can enhance the vehicle’s look, they can disrupt the suspension dynamics. Any thoughts on how that might relate to performance upgrades?

Upgrading to 22 inch rims sounds cool, but I’m worried about potholes! Will they make my Mustang’s ride feel like a rollercoaster?

Haha, that’s a good point! I’ve heard horror stories from those who didn’t consider their local roads before upgrading.
You should definitely consider tire options as well, as the type of tires you pair with those rims will greatly influence your ride quality and performance.
Interesting perspective, rebecca85! Tires can really make or break the handling experience. Anyone have experience with performance tires on 22 inch rims?
Honestly, I think the look might be worth the slight performance trade-off, but does anyone have any hard data on fuel efficiency changes?
I’m not sure about data, but anecdotally, I noticed a slight dip in fuel economy when I upgraded to larger rims on my previous car. Just food for thought!
Whether or not you should upgrade to 22 inch rims really depends on what you value more in your Mustang—looks or performance. Reflect on that!

Upgrading to 22-inch rims can definitely change the look of your Mustang! Just ensure you choose a color that complements your paint job. Black rims can look aggressive, while silver adds a classic touch.
Absolutely agree! I’ve seen some great combinations. What about tire options? A wider tire can fill the wheel well nicely and improve handling.
I put 22s on my Mustang, and honestly, it’s a head-turner! Just make sure the tires are the right profile to avoid rubbing issues. You want that aggressive stance without sacrificing ride quality.
Wow, that sounds amazing! Did you go for custom colors on your rims or stick with something classic?
I went matte black on my 22s, which gives it a stealthy look! However, I’ve seen some Mustangs with chrome rims that pop beautifully—very eye-catching.

Rims are important, but don’t forget about the overall stance. Lowering your Mustang slightly can help the rims look even better. Anyone here tried that with 22s?
I think keeping a balanced look is key. Large rims can sometimes make the car look disproportionate. What do you all think about color-matching the calipers to the rims?
That would look stunning! It adds continuity to the overall appearance. I’m curious how far people have gone with customization on theirs.

Customization can really set your car apart, but it can also cause more attention than you might want! Just be ready for the compliments—and potential theft worries.
Are 22s overkill for a Mustang? I feel like it might detract from the classic muscle car vibe, but I’m open to being convinced otherwise! How do others feel about rims that large?
Not at all! It’s all about personal style. Some love that bold look, others prefer keeping it classic. But hey, if you love it, go for it!

After all, Mustangs are all about expressing individuality. Just make sure your choice is practical and looks good with your ride. Something like a graphite finish limits dust visibility, too!
