I have not seen this done but I would assume some serious modifications would be needed even with paper thin tires. I say stick with 20s.

You could always make it a "Donk"

DONKS!!!!! yeah you would be like every black guy in peachtree city, GA if you did 22's hahaha it would look ridiculous! I am all for pushing the limits but besides for the looks department there is no advantage to running them. STAY WITH 20's!!! Honestly 20's are FREAKING huge and they mate up with the Z perfectly!

20's = FTGDMFW
22's = A**Hat!

You choose Full of WIN or A**Hat...

Not a good idea, 20" is pushing it. THe Z is a sports car, so also the components of the suspension will not enjoy having such skinny tires on the wheels. THe fenders MAY be able to get them in their with the right fitment, but turning and the mass youll have to move a 22" wheel will wear that car down much quicker.

haha I agree they will probably look wayyy to big and possibly hideous, but was interested in see'ing what they actually look like, I've got my heart set on the Venaci spirit 20" rims at the moment but wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else out there that caught my eye...
