A Crossfire should have a low profile and sit low to the ground. It is a sports car, and should be respected as such. If you want to drive a car on stilts, why don't you just get an Impala.

That pic does look like 20s in front an 22s in the rear. Look at how little rubber is on the back, I would think that hitting even a small pot hole at any speed would bend those rims. And look at the difference in the stance from the front to the back. There is no way you could drive this car in the manner for which it was built. To each their own, but IMO why buy a sports car only to mod it in a way that is not conducive to driving it like a sports car.

The case is he didnt buy an Impala. He bought a Crossfire and should be able to do what he pleases with it.he paid for it...right? Some buy sports cars for the sporty look also not just speed...BTW Irwin's car looked hot with that setup. JMHO

p.s. just saying...........

Well...... Just maybe, that is why I said "To each their own, but IMO"? He can put a fart can on it if he wants to, but IMO that would be supid as hell.

My neighbor has an old 72 Buick Electra 225, in very nice condition. He put 22" wheels on his, 3 times. After the third time of replacing wheels because they were getting bent going over potholes & RR tracks he put the factory wheel/hubcaps on it. That thing rode like a log wagon with those 22" wheels. But hey, it did look good!!!

Huh??? What??? I thought this was a thread about 22" Wheels.

"political incorrectness - the use of expressions or actions that can be perceived to exclude or marginalize or insult groups who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against"

So, who is the socially disadvantaged group here? And what does Bush have to do with any of this?

Huh??? What??? is right.
I have heard Bush blamed for just about everything. But 22" wheels is too far! The man is not perfect, I admit. But have some perspective for Gods sake!
