Default 20s

Has anyone ran 20's all the way around? Not some ghetto bling but a nice set of racing style 20's..

Your gona get a lot of kids saying that it looks dumb. I know people that have run deep 11's on 19's. 20's are possible but your gona start to lift the car up. Do what you like.

I really haven't seen any nice racing 20's. That size is mostly the bling rims. I'm looking at 19's and the tires are very reasonable. 275-30-19 there are about 5 tires from $150-$200. Not bad at all.

There are only an occasional set of 20s that look good....in the rear only!! Also, like posted earlier, it will start to raise the car up too

Have you figured out what size tire you want?

You can get a 305/25/20 and it would be 26" diameter, but they are very pricey, $350 and up.

I drove a 2000 something Crown Vic the other day with 20's on it. It had 245/35/20 tires which I believe is 26.5 inches in diameter. It was like floating on a cloud. I couldn't believe the ride was so smooth. I went over a few potholes at slow speed just to judge the harshness there and it soaked them up no problem. I swear it was just like the factory ride quality. I know that car has a very soft suspension, but I still couldn't believe that a sidewall that short could ride so smooth. Maybe with the right spring rates and shocks it could ride fairly nicely on an f-body as well. I think I would still go for 19's though.

To help out this thread I'll post all the pics I have of cars with 20's on them or at least look like 20's. Some just have 20's on the rear. Man, I've collected a lot over the years.
