Why would you want to put 22" rims on an Impala? Do you have to drive through deep snow everyday?

Change Your Springs, Or Get A Lift Kit

I put 22x8.5 +38 wheels with 245/30r22 tires and it is fine, the rear rubbed on the spring plate if you bend it up it will take care of the rub. You can go with a lower offset and it will probably not rub, but I dont know if it will hit the fender on the outside when you hit bumps. The front has plenty of clearence.

Yup this is correct info..
and no it wont hit on the quarter panel... we just usually grind down the strut where it rubs till the wheel spins freely.
