Lowering a Bentley GT on 21s or 22s?

Guys,
I am looking to buy either 21" or 22" Asanti wheels for my Gt. I have never seen a GT on 22s so I don't know how much wheel gap there is. A few questions:
  • Do 22s make the car look disproportional? I do not want to look I am drving a Bentley Moster Truck
  • Is there wheel gap with 22s fitted?
  • Will 22s drastically effect the ride quality? Will 21s make it much better?
  • Is a lowering module needed or can I have someone access the software and reprogram the Bentley settings?
I have decided to go with the Asanti AF122 wheels for my Beluga Black GT.


Thanks for the help guys

Big Carrot is infamous around these parts
I put 22's on mine and it looks just right. Fills the wheel well perfectly, and I don't really think it even needs to be lowered! The ride is a tiny bit rougher, but I didn't notice much of a difference.

My buddy has a Flying Spur on 22's and he lowered it.
You do not need a lowering module, somebody with the right equipment can access the Bentley programing and lower it there.

Thanks for the input. Can you post some pics of the wheels and the wheel gap.

Congrats on the awesome car.
