Was told 22's eat brakes go 20's

[tugbone]

I was told that if I put 22's on that I have to do a brake and rotor upgrade
to go with 20 instead. I really don't want to start messing with all that
just want some nice wheels and lower the car is this true or false.
I think staggered 20's would look nice and keep the ride comfy.

False. You do not HAVE to do a brake and rotor upgrade. Most people don't. I'm on 24s w/ no brake upgrade.

I had well over 40,000 miles on my 22's with no upgrades or even brake changes.....you'll be fine

[WheelExecutives]

i love some wheel places... they probably have 20's in stock that they want to sell

[smoove7410]

^^Exactly what the exec said.

[williamspeaking]

total BS for sure

no need of upgrade, but your pads will wear much faster than stock if you get heavy a$$ 1pc cast 22"s.

I'd recommend getting 2/3pc light weight forged rims.
just my 2c

[Joshua S.]

everyone is right, you will be fine.

You do not have to upgrade. Especially if you go with a light multi-peace wheel. Just be aware that if you go with a 1 piece 22" wheel it will be very heavy. This will eat through your pads faster than normal and increase your stopping distance and general brake feel.

[wanna300]

though it doesnt eat through them quicker, i believe your stop distance increases with 22s....
