some 20's can look sick on your car if its the right rim. and depending how everything else is on your car.

there was a guy that posted a pic of his buddies red SS with 20" C5 Z06 in chrome and it looked sick.........

Your car really looks good, the rims are big but they do not look bad at all and are not gawdy. I would just say get rid of that spoiler asap.

to each thier own....thats how most of the people on this site should act.

The tires are Pirelli Pzero Rosso
Front are 275/30R19
Rear are 345/25R20
I had the 345's on 12.5" rims previously and I thought they looked like crap, because they didn't have a vertical side wall (they looked stretched). On the 11.5" rim they look PERFECT and match the vertical side wall of the front tires.

I'm not a fan of 20's and up on f-bodies but I will say that if the right tire/wheel (deep dish) is chosen it can look real good. Would I do it to my car? No, but I also wouldn't put corvette rims on my car either. Applause to those being different!

I like 20" rims. Just not on an fbody. These are not chrysler 300s. An LSX deserves big tires, not big wheels. Just my opinion...

I just checked tirerack and your tires are 13.6 inch sec. width. From your pictures, your back wheels look like you're running a 295 series tire. With a 11.5 inch wheel, you should be around 13.5 inches wide. Good thing though, your height is only 26.8 inches tall with a 20inch wheel. I'm at 26.2 inches with 295/35/18 BFG DRs.
