Default Who has 20s in the back or all around. Need help.

Ok I want bigger than a 18 but dont want to pay double the price for the 19" tires. I though I would just go with a 20 in the rear. Anybody have them? Post pics please, how bad they hurt performance?

There's actually quite a few running around. IMHO they're too big, but to each's own.

wasnt his the silver Camaro? i think 19" should be the max. my 18'' rims fill the wheel wells perfectly. I imagine lowering would be a PITA if you had 19-20" rims.

I had 19x9.5's on all 4's of my old WS.6 and had no issues what-so-ever with it lowered on prokits. Just had lack of traction due to the crappy rubber bands that were called tires.

Thats the thing, I don't want to lower the car, but I want to fill the wheel well. I think the 19s are the perfect size, but I don't want to pay extra for the tires. 19s in the front and 20s in the rear. Nobody has pics?

Most people who want to "fill the wheel well" do it with taller tires. Get much better traction, and it doesn't make the car look tacky. Not to mention, a 20" wheel is gonna be heavy and rob horsepower.

Hell, if your gonna get 20" rims, why not go all out 'thug' and make them 'spinners'?

You're not going to fill the wheel well with 20's. Our suspensions are set too high to just buy a wheel to fill the hole. Like I mentioned earlier I had 19's and still lowered it to take the gap away. Besides the money you'll save on going with 17's or 18's will take care of springs and shocks.

No size wheel will fill the wheel well unless you change the over all combined diameter of the wheel/tire combo (not recommended, nor does it look good). My 17's w/tires fill the wheel well just as much as 20's w/tires, mine just have a taller tire. Lowering will take care of the gap. I agree with Mattism78.

20"s all the way around. 275/30/20 all the way around. Lowered withPro Kit about 1.3 inches. No rubbing after I rolled the fenders. Hate it or love it... I dont care. Car shows people like it for the most part.
