Default Would 22 inch wheels and tyres fit an AU

Hey All,

I know they would not be legal and would require a cert but would 22 inch wheels and tyres fit onto an AU falcon?

I am not looking at getting them myself as I have only recently got my new 19's but would a set of 22's fit physically just out of curosity?

20's fill the geaurds pretty well but with the right offset rim and no wider than 8.5 inch i can see them fitting.

Tempe tyres got 22's on a VL so why not a AU

ive seen 22's on the rear of an AU. but they wont fit on the front.

a former member of our club had a T3 (now sold) that had 20's on the front and 22's on the rear. it was decked as well.

he told me it was a major hassle to get them on there, and stupid things in the rear guards like filler neck etc had to be massaged out of the way. but looked awesome will try n find a pic.

20s fit nice and the 22s on the rear look abit stupid to me and must of had a crap ride as well with such a small profile tyre
