Default Please guy's, don't ever.......

Put snow tires on an f-body.
If you gotta drive in the snow, use cable chains and remove asap.

Bolt on a set of wire rims.
Especially with the "war chariot" spike sticking out of the hub.

Paint a mural on your deck spoiler.
Looks fine the way it is.

Replace your tail lights with those euro-style things.

Anyone else?

I happen to disagree with that one.......I say dont go bigger than 19", cause there are a few 19" rims that look SICK on F-bodies.......This is one of them:

...care what anyone else thinks of your car. Do what YOU want with YOUR car.
...worry about whether everyone else is trying to copy your car. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Just because you bought a particular set of parts (hood, rims, spoiler, grille, etc.) doesn't make you unique. If you want to be unique, look into real body work or custom paint jobs.

I would say no bigger than 19's, but on certain cars, like the new mustang for example, they can easily tuck 20's and it still looks really good. Although for the sake of performance, and price, i personally wouldnt go over 18's.
