welcome to IS

I have 22" and H&R springs and it feels great, wife drive it to work sometimes and never complains.

24s will f-up the look of the FX ... IMO.

I have warranty also.
 
Welcome to iS! Most new wheels will add some weight and slow it down a bit, plus make braking harder.
 
Welcome to the Scene! +1 on what everyone else has said but weight of the wheels and not only the size of them will contribute to any noticeable speed decrease in any really.

24's too big huh? So I would have to change the springs? Also, with the 22's will it make it a little slower?

24 are too big. poor ride since the tire side wall needs to be smaller.

22 will not lower your ride. it will have (need) the same diameter at the stock wheel so the odometer will read accurately.
Get some H&R springs to lower the FX. Overall ride comfort will be IMPROVED. (yes, I said improved).

DO a little research here and you will read and see all I have said.

I'll try to find some pics of a FX w/ 24 for you later...
 
Welcome to the scene. Yeah, can't go wrong with 22's. Just depends on the look your going for. But if you want functionality go with 22's on H&R's or Eibach. Your choice.

22's are the best choice in my opinion. As to the springs you wouldn't have to change them but when you go to 22's the space above your tires becomes more noticable so you would most likely want to lower it to clean up the look.
Happy Modding and Welcome to:iS::tup::tup:

Springs average for around $245. I got my FX lowered at Street Image in Baldwin Park for $120
 
welcome!!!! as for the wheels i will have to agree with everyone else. 22's is the way to go. once you go to the 24's costs will go way up for replacing tires and the ride will be a pain. well thats at least my $.02
