I just got my 2011 V Coupe and want to upsize the wheels to 22" and drop it with a Eibach Pro kit but I don't see many, really any, on here that have over 20's. Is there a reason? Was considering 22x8.5 or 9" o front and 22x10.5-12" rear. Any info is greatly appreciated!
22" Wheels??

These 21's look GOOD.
These do NOT. Just my opinion of course - but 21's are only appropriate with the right design. snzuloz and a a few others have done it right. Everything else looks awful - too hood, too *******, or just tasteless.
Sorry if that's not PC, but those are the only terms I can give you to describe how it might play out. I'm with the other guys - even my 20's seem to compromise the ride a bit and don't really offer much more in performance. But there are a ton of good tires out there in the 305/30/20 size that I'm running out back, including some great track tires and drag radials. So I went with my setup based on the wide range of tire options I would have and gave in a little on the ride quality. But I'd never go to a 21 or 22 - there are hardly any good tires available in sizes above 20. There's a few, but not many. And prices are ALWAYS at a premium because the tire makers know guys running 21's and 22's are addicted to them...

If done right, anything from 19" to 21" will look great and fill it out nicely. Look at Crtomlin's 19s in the Cts-V of the Month thread, they look incredible. Then look at these Forgestar 21's on this wagon, again incredible. You have to do it right though, wheels that typically go on 300Cs like Asanti's are going to look gay no matter what size they are!

Tri is right on tire sizes and brand choices for 21s. There are a few wider than my 295s that might work on a coupe, but they are fn pricey!!
My tires were dirt cheap so I abuse them on the reg,, but just found out they are no longer available so will need to find an alternative for the next set,,, no doubt more expensive

Just checked out a post with 20x12 and a 345/25 on the rear! I like the idea of the fat tire but damn, that Vagon with the Niche 21's looks sweet as well but looks like it scrubs easily and I'm not looking to drop a ton on tires, especially less than 305's

I'm running 21x9 fronts 21x11 rears wrapped in Toyo T1R 255/30/21 and 295/25/21.
I wanted to go with new 305 rears but they are pretty pricey....

Does it scrub or have turning scrape? What have you done to suspension?

Is that your Vagon you posted? What suspension mods if so?

I'm running Kwv3 coilovers. The suspension is amazing there is absolutely no rubbing or bounce on the ride. As well as no rub on turns or at any point.

What tires will you run? How well will they perform? How much will they cost?
You're getting your panties all wet about these wheels, but these are likely to lose a lot of grip, cost you a ton of money, and severely limit your tire selection.
Respectfully my friend, but it looks like you are thinking with your crotch and not your brain.
