EX... 22s on a G6

This question has a "loaded" answer! The diameter (height) of the tire affects a number of things, - acceleration and indicatged road speed, (and gas mileage - figured with odometer), - if not modified to match size of wheels. Width will affect mileage and handling(to some degree).. also hydroplaning on wet roads! Wide tires may also have a clearance problem with suspension and "turn stops" - which leads to tearing up tires and damaging undercarriage of car sometimes! Wides also make car get less mpg!
Now those litle "mag spoked" wheels that seem to be the rage right now, -have such thin tires that they make the car ride like a "lumbertruck"! If they are the same outside diameter (tire height) the mileage and accerleration will remain the same.
I myself would immediately dispose of these wheels/tires, - if they happened to come on a car when I bought it! I don't need to impress anybody, and I don't want the kind of ride they give.
Now as to damaging the transmission itself,- it probably won't make much difference, - as long as both sides are the same width and height! Mismatched sizes lead to damaging the "differential" part of "rear axle (even though it is located insde the transmission assembly in front wheel drive cars). Width difference is the least damaging of the two!

you probably did not specify which Beetle(the recent Beetle or the outdated variety a million-the air cooled engines) maximum persons don't be responsive to the version calling all of them Beetles. Volkswagen by no ability formally known because it a Beetle till 1971(with the SuperBeetle) in any different case, they have been each and every of the variety a million sedan. All front wheel force autos i be responsive to of, have the engines interior the front. call me one motor vehicle agency that would not. the variety a million's had an aircooled motor fastened interior the rear at present onto the transmission/rear axle (or transaxle)From the transaxle to the wheels have been self sufficient driveshafts. They have been rear wheel force via fact the engine weight substitute into there - and the load delivers traction. the recent Beetle(that's a step faraway from the air cooled engines to water cooled engines) is a front engine fastened onto a transaxle on the front end. (that's particularly the Rabbit engine physique assembly with a distinctive physique) So this is front wheel force via fact the load of the engine is over the wheels for the identical reason via fact the rear wheel force autos. It particularly has 2 self sufficient force shafts(one to each wheel)via fact the transaxle substitute into the source of twisting capability. lots much less confusing to understand in case you obtain a "restoration your VW" fix instruction manual and checked out the photographs. the motive force continuously has a "draft" in one hand. Why do you think of they're the friendliest people?

I don't think so but you shouldn't put 22s on a G6 anyways. Go with a nice set of 20s. Big rims on a small car looks ugly.

No, wheel size has not impact on a transmission's performance.

no... as long as the outside diameter of the tires remain the same as stock tires that came on vehicle, u may need to recalibrate the cpu if u do change these dimensions

It could if you have to jack up the car to fit them. There are limits to the angle you can run your CV joints at.
