Thanks. So you went from 247 @90% with 19" to 229 @90% with 22"s? That's about 7.2%. Which is less than I would have expected.

Did you have to "roll" the wheel wells to avoid rubbing? Or use spacers or something like that? That's some wide rubber you have there.
 
255/30/22 = 28.1 inches
305/25/22 =28 inches

stock 19
245/45/19 =27.8 inches

no spacers
front et35
rears et 35

I prefer et 25 in fronts

no rubbing at all

ordering lowering brackets from unplugged performance to lower the car more

I had a side blowout also on the 21's.

sigh... i had 2 already...
both on days that rained, as we had a lot of rain this year starting....

wet puddle.. cant gauge how deep the pot hole is... bam... #@$#@%^@!
gg, $350-$380 dollar bill you will be fronting on replacing that super sports you just bubbled. <--- this is is the good bad ending scenario.... heaven forbid if you hit that pothole harder and dinged your rims...

i vowed if i ever ding'd my rim, that day i go off and buy 19's and shelf my 21's for another drought season.
 
I literally just removed my 22"s about an hour ago. I was on stock 19"s and they were great, but I wanted an aftermarket wheel and the more aggressive look. I went with 22" Vossens and they look sooooo damn good. I got compliments on the wheels alone, let alone put together with the entire car. I took it to the body shop and everyone there loved how agressive the car looked.

The catch for me is that i got them because i love the agressive/sporty look on cars (I have a Lexus also on Vossens but 20") but i commute 100 miles to work every day and 100 back home. I did this for a couple of months on the 22" sand the ride wasnt too bad. Maybe im just not particularly picky, but the ride wasnt too bad. I did feel the road a little more and of course bumps/holes you can definitely feel them. but i know my commute and know where to avoid the few bad areas. Other than that my commute road is very clean. Needless to say, i didnt mind the ride, what was killing me was the range!! I immediately noticed it was taking up to 40 miles of additional range to commute 100 miles. So at work i would have to plug in my car much longer, which was starting to add up and not making sense. I finally took them off today. I already miss the look, but with such a far commute i dont want to keep sucking up that much electricty, and also ruin such a beautiful set of wheels. If i didnt travel so much, I'd 100% keep them!

Does anyone have any info/advice on how well their 20"s did on range? I'm going to sell these 22" and get 20"s if they help my range.

I bought my 20s from EvWheels which manufacturer heavier wheels than what I expected. I commute from Menlo Park CA to Madera every other week and lose about 30 miles for every 100 miles I drive at about 70-80mph. There is also a higher elevation through the Hollister pass.
 
lose about 30 miles for every 100 miles

ouch ... that makes me wonder how much i lose for having 21's.
sigh.... each time i read threads like this, it makes me more and more lean to getting 19's.
The only thing holding me back is the fact a P100D does not look or sit right with 19's....

Its like having a super model dress up in full ski outfit not allowing her to show off any of her curves, and saying its for efficiency and protection... :oops:
