That's the car I was referring to. LMC.... I'm retarded, I meant LMR. But those are high end, not some cheap cast wheel. I think that makes a HUGE difference.

When done right 20's work.

Those wheels look great, but I maintain that they'd look better as 18s or 19s.

If the car will seriously have 1200-1500hp 20" rims would be a terrible idea IMO...

Traction would be a joke and you'll be replacing a lot of tires, and for no other reason than looking cool (to some anyway).

17" is the highest I'd go IMO. If it was my car with that power level, it'd be getting some 15's with a huge tire to try and keep it in a straight line.

Well what does the zr1 have stock? I mean the op is saying he will do a wide body kit so it looks good. And I mean as long as he gets a wide enough tire with enough meat I am sure he can have some fun ... I mean wtf we all spin like crazy ...I mean I been seen alot of zr1 s and c6 z06s spinning and crashing.. So if it's gonna happen it's gonna happen to anyone. I say op if u can make it look good do it.. I mean at 1200 hp is he really gonna find a street tire to dead hook any ways ?? Lol

Z06's and ZR1's dont have 1200hp. You can dead hook at the track with that kind of power, but I haven't seen it done on 20's. Here's an awesome video of a C6Z06 making some 8 second passes on 17's.

And by the way, I am in love with your car/rims. What rims are they?

I test fitted my HRE 847s on the car. It's tough to get 20s to look good on these cars. Keep in mind it's a 17" wheel up front, so it looks goofy.
