size of the rim really doesn't affect the size of the tire.

don't really know what you are asking...

To answer your question....those are 22's because the larger the diameter the larger the width...

Dubble dubs definitely fit so 22s will also. Just depends on how much you want to spend.

to actually give an answer to this guy::: some setups look bigger in the rear because most poeple are running a combination of staggered tires and wheel offsets....

I think he is referring to the 2006 GT with 18s in the front and 19s in the rear.
I believe it came stock with a 265 tire in the rear.

You ask some dumb questions. Why do some people have custom paint jobs, wide tires, body kits, custom wheels...ect.....b/c they want to.
