Here's why:
* Wheel Well Clearance: The Sebring's wheel wells are designed for much smaller diameter wheels. 22" rims are very large, and they'll likely rub against the fenders, suspension components, or bodywork even with minimal tire sidewall.
* Offset and Bolt Pattern: The bolt pattern (number of lug nuts and their spacing) and offset (how far the wheel mounts in or out from the hub) of 22" rims might not be compatible with the Sebring's hub. You'd need to find rims with the exact correct specifications.
* Tire Size: Even if you found rims that fit the bolt pattern, you'd need to find tires with a very low profile to fit within the wheel well. This would dramatically impact ride quality and handling, making the car very harsh and prone to damage from potholes and bumps.
In short, while it's *possible* with extensive modifications (like fender rolling, potentially even suspension changes), it's not practical or recommended to put 22" rims on a 1997 Chrysler Sebring convertible. It would likely look disproportionate and severely compromise the car's ride and handling. Sticking to the factory recommended wheel size or slightly larger options within reason is the best approach.
