When increasing rim size you should try to keep it so your tire is around the same size as factory. However, there are several important facts you have left out.
Are you changing your suspension, by adding a lift or lowering the truck.
If you lift the truck you will be able to lift to the point where you are not rubbing if you
are using off-set rims. However if you are lowering the vehicle you are nuts, you will
not only have to cut the wheel wells, but also the fenders and hood, and don't plan
on being able to drive it, you wont be able to turn as the motor is in the way. My
suggestion is that you find a set of 18-19's and run those as they do fit without
modification, if you are dead set on 22's, buy a full-size pickup, not a mini. Nevermind what that guy up there said............... Actually 22s will fit on a s10 without cutting or lifting anything. your turn radius is lowered but still very much drivable. i know this because i currently have a 2door s10 blazer with 22s you cant lower the front any but you can still put 2 inch drop in the back. you might be able to do a 2 4 drop if you ride on rubberbands.
18 inch rims will fit on your 2002 Cavalier. Any rims bigger than 18 inches will get against the wheel well.
A lot of wheel well fabrication.
Well if it will fit 14'' rims, as well as they have the same bolts, and you know how to get it to an autobody, you'll do just fine.
Yes due to the large full arch wheel well...
not without any kind of modifications. Springs spacers or wheel well cutting
Yes sir, with modifications to wheel well(cut) and lift about 3 inches!
No, You can not put those size rims on that car, there is not enough room in the wheel well, and if you can get them on, don't drive it, they will rub on the sway bars.
no unless you want to cut into the wheel well. i have 20's on mine and they barely fit.
well, 20 inch rims fill the wheel well very nicely - So, I would have to assume that 4 additional inches in diamter would make the wheels rub while rotated at best, if the body is not lifted to accomidate the large rims. (Why would you put 24s on a Charger??)
youll need to raise it unless you want to cut the wheel well, or destroy the control arms
Not without wheel well modifiactions. Your best best is a 22 inch rim with a real low pro tire, its a snug fit with an occasional rub, but nothing that will dammage your wheel or tire
well it's self explanatory.... 27 is not 22. they are 27 inch. if they were 22 they would not be called 27 inch
