a 20 inch wheel = no tire sidewall = traction problems will still exist

Not optimal for drag racing, a 275mm vs a 345mm tire, come on, they wouldnt put them on a 638 horse power corvette if they wernt stickier.

while the tires would be wider, you would only really have better handling because of the small sidewall. however, a small sidewall will hurt straight line traction.

Put them on there for handling/auto-x etc and when you want to go to the drag strip, swap out some racing slicks on a set of Welds or something. You cant have it all, all the time! Selfish! LoL JJ but seriously, thats what a lot of us do becuase the traction needed on a drag strip isnt viable for everyday use so they take the wheels with them and swap them out at the track i guess? I dont know i dont do it

A 255/50/16 DR would hook better then a 345/2?/20 any day of the week.

if they look anything like the camaro's Ive seen on 22 inch wheels please just go buy a rice grinder.

15>20 in this case.

Thats just too big for an Fbody... Looks great on a Vette, but personally I think anything over an 18 looks silly on an Fbody.
