Yeah that looks craptacular. There are enough Fbody's running around on 20+" wheels here in Montgomery AL. We need an Fbody abuse hotline...

Just because it fits, doesn't mean it should be put on LOL

I think they look great on the f-body, those are some of the best looking wheels out there. A lot of people are putting them on G8's too.

I think that looks a lot better than the 4th gen. It's still looks like the !Tires! mod, but it looks okay.

I dont know about the F-body, but on the G8s they look freakin sick. I told my friend to get some for his PBM G8.

Hillbillies aren't the ones that put big wheels on their cars, it's the ones that drive the donks.
