I don't like the heavy SUV wheels these cars come with. I lost 66 lbs in rotating mass when I swapped to 18s. This alone got me about .364 seconds and 2.887 mph in the 1/4 mile. On regular street tires NOT drag radials.
Car feels so much lighter and nimble with these wheels.
I know it looks a little goofy, but I'd rather go fast.
I bought these tires just to see how they would look. They are a little shorter than I would like at 26" tall. My last tires 295/40 18 were a better height at 27.2" but they were too narrow.

That's doesn't look goofy at all to me. IMO the 5 gens stock wheels are to damn big.

i believe the new muscles cars with the high waist lines need the 20 inch tires, however you make a good point about the rotating mass in your quest for speed haha. Your car looks sick, but I believe from a cosmetic view point only, a 20 inch rim would look better for the gen 5. it looks real mean from the rear, i like the bowtie and berger panel look a lot...please get rid of the mud flaps =) sick car OP. what's it even run in the 1/4? sorry if i missed that.

i agree it looks killer, im not a fan of the bigger rims, i would rather have a bigger tire, ride looks great man, you can never make anyone happy put 20s on a 4th gen everyone hates it, they say 20s arent for muscle cars, who knew you would get hated on for taking 20s off a 5th gen lol

Best so far is 12.3 @ 113 in shitty air (I think it was 12.1 @ 115 corrected).
My goal is to run 11s with just bolt ons.

They are my BEST mod so far.

Awesome man. I'm not into verts, but the car looks pretty darn good.
