Do it, it will look sick!
My setup... 22x9 245/30/22 F , 22x10.5 295/25/22 R Ideal setup imo would be 22x9 245/30/22, 22x11 295/25/22
Just remember you MUST lower you car, otherwise you will be ready to do some offroading lol

I am planing to order 22" EXE wheels for my 6r and I have a question about lowering the car. What does it cost to add H&R springs and who does it ? What tires would you recommend ?
Thanks

He wishes his 6 has the engine of the M.
It's a m6-m+639= 645
I wonder if he can get a badge made that reads exactly that "m6-m+639"

I get the fealing that you guys dont like the sound of an M6 on 22's. I personally think that if its executed properly ( right amount of drop ), it could look good. I would do it if I had an M6. I think the perfect size is 21's, if you could find the tires. 
Tires is no problem, I run on Falken 452 and quite happy with them.
I have 255 in the front and 295 rear.
And lowered with Eibach Pro Kit

Thanks tbal! Your M6 is sick. What about 255/30R22 in the front?
Im running 245/30/22 fronts, and on hard full turn i can hear them rubbing the inner plastic wheel trim. 255s, i say dont do it.
