Installing 22 inch rims
I have a 2000 DTS, so i have my vogues and everything but I decided to go with a different look for a few months, I have 22 inch spyder rims on the car wrapped ine 245-30-22. My problem is that the right rear tire rubs from time to time, now this doesnt happen on my friends caddy (2003) so is the air suspension adjustable? i read somewhere that the suspension can be adjusted from soft to firm is this so? Or should i just use the adjusters that fit between the springs? any help will be appreciated

Rub
You have a few options.
1. Get air Bags, thats pretty expensive though!
2. If your wheels have a true bolt patern of 5x115 they should sit flush against the hub and the tires wont rub because they will tuck under the rear fender and miss the metal lip that rubs/slices the tire.
3. A lot or people will sell you a 5x4.5/5x114.3 for a 5x115 because it will fit but it will be off by 0.7mm. Thats enough to cause problems If your bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3 You'll need some Coil Spring Lifters and hub rings. They cost about $20. I had them on my 04 Grand prix that had the same problem. The lifters keep the cars springs constantly tight. I didn't like them because it keeps your car from having any give when you go over large bumps. I eventually sold my rims and got the correct pattern though because it's not good on the wear of your hubs.
Hope this helped
