LOL u guys are clowns. GM made the wheel wells to accommodate such diameter wheel. I think u guys are just a little behind the times. Every protouring car out these days is on a 20" wheel now when 6 years ago the older suburban culture shunned anything larger than a 16" wheel. Stock car does not equal a nice car. A 22" wheel looks great on a 5th gen. YEAH I SAID IT!!!

Are you just messing with us or being serious? Did you see the pictures??? They are 26" wheels... They look absolutely horrible and out of place.

Some of the "protouring" cars are on 20"s, but as you should notice they are on high quality, light weight good looking wheels, not some autozone heavy *** donk crap. Most of the protouring car are actually on 18"s, and sometimes 19"s. Many are built for handling, and obviously a bigger, heavier wheel is not great for that...

And you say we are behind on the times? Have you been living under a rock? 16s are **** unless its a drag car, 18s have been "in" for years... Most don't like much bigger than 18s because most cars are not made for a bigger wheel and can look really off - even worse with ugly *** donk wheels.

Donked car does not = nice car (or unique car like many want to claim), just simply tacky and trashy. Clean, quality, race inspired wheels (like HRE, Fikse, Forgestar, etc) are the ones that look good in larger sizes.
Look how good this camaro looks:

Compared to this trash:

Honestly though, I freaking hate small wheels too, especially slicks/skinnies. It has to be a nice middle ground for me. That's why I have MTs on stock 17s.
