19" is as big as ANY wheel needs to be for an F-Body and even then it has to be a very particular design to really fit IMO. If you ask me and many other people, a muscle car such as an F-Body needs a little sidewall and "meat" on the tires to look right so bigger wheels with such little tire dont quite fit the theme of the car. 17" will get you by and 18" all around are perfect for these cars. The wheels are just too big in relation to the rest of the car. F-Bodies aren't bling, leave the 20s to cars and more importantly SUVs and trucks that they do fit.

Thanks Skew for the answer on the 18's. I'd really like to get some 18" HRE's.

Put whatever you want on your car that works for you. I wonder if people would be h8t'n if you put 20" Torque Thrusts on your Fbod? I've seen people with 17" wheels that look *horrible*!

It's nice to see someone with different wheels, but 20s are too big in my opinion. Don't get ZO6s, 'cause everyone has them or ZR1s, but if you are not happy with that look, just sell them and get something different. I'm sure you could get the wheels just by selling the tires alone!

These pictures make me want to puke what the f###k are some people thinking? The only way to make those two cars look good is with a brick of C-4. F bodies are not rice rockets they are american muscle so keep it that way.........unbelievable what is this world coming to I'm 21 and would never want any of my cars to look like that. That **** is just plain embarrassing.

I'm surprised that none of these cars have
those silly *** spinner hubcaps (these wheels on your car = you swallow),
the really small wheels with the gold wire centers (these wheels on your car = you sell crack/meth and your sister/mom out of the same car).

20's just don't work on an F-bod IMO.

Then again, it seems like EVERYONE has TT2's, ZO6's, ZR1's, Welds, or Bogarts on their ride.....

There actually are a couple cars out there that look good with 20's, chuckys95 is one that comes to mind. Your car doesn't look to bad with them, i think it would help a lot if you lowered it though.

Yeah, those pix were examples of what *not* to do... I keep forgetting that in the new millenium world of the internet, you have to overly explain yourself.

Anyway, I looked at the wheel pix again and to tell you the truth, I don't think it's the size, because if you put 18's on that car and lower it, it would look about the same. It's just the wheel. There's something about it that doesn't really work for me...

But that's really the point, it doesn't work *for me*. If you like your wheels guy, stick with it. It's your car.

To drive home my point, what about the wheel below? I think it looks GREAT and it's a 20.
