I always laugh when I see an Escalade with 22's on the back, wrapped around what now appear to be the tiniest brakes ever made by mankind. IMHO, there's beauty in proportion and symmetry, and that goes out the window when the 22's come outa da box. Just my opinion...

My sincere and considered advice: DON'T DO IT!
I'm running 19's and 20's. This is on the ragged edge of practicality. You pick the reasons: aesthetics, handling and ride, tire availability, clearance issues, etc.
A pain in the '****'... (truth be known).
Also, the population at large, will give thanks for having been spared the task of ummm, ahhhh, well... you know.

You can probably live with that, but if I had a second chance, it would be 18's and 19's or maybe 18's all around.
You have already bought them?... don't sweat it too much, BUT... be forewarned of potential rim damage due to tire 'punch through' from [pot hole] impacts etc. Keep a close eye on pressures... good luck.

I went from 19" on the rear to 18" and the difference in ride quality and grip on acceleration is tremendous! the 19"s sucked on hard acceleration.(spun so easy) When i install my 17" wheels with M/T tires, i have even better grip.(than the 18")
