Get spacers, and cut the fenders and part of the bumpers.

Yes, look up something called unsprung weight. The wheels are heavier so it will take more effort to stop the car. Your braking system will be taxed.

Your car will handle even worse not to mention that your wheel bearing will wear out sooner because of the low profile tires. If you live in an area where there not a lot of pot holes then it may be a non-issue.

Re: 94 linconn 22 inch rims

WOW how many of you guys have actually done it????? ?????? ????? I'm guessing not many,Well I have except ,mines a 91 when you get your rims have them measure ur backspacing and get a 1/4 spacer tell them too adjust your backspacing accordingly then get 1/4 inch longer studs also your either gonna need new stiffer springs or a set of " Knuckels " blocks that got in between the coils then theres only 1 thing left to do get a nice size sledge hammer and beat in your rear fender wells on the front half of the rear and along the top of where your tire will be traveling if you have any problems just ask me.I didnt have an 1 too tell me this so I had to learn the hard way.and tires r expensive mine r 700 for a complete set,also dont get a tire bigger than 35 series or theres gonna be more you have to beat in on the rear fender well.My cars pics r on here in another post I think its called wheels??? just like that i belive.
