Here's a good thread:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...=347879&page=1
CCW 505A 19/20 Combo on a Black SS looks REALLY good to me. Fact is, with street tires, you aren't going to get traction if you've modded your car anyway, so might as well go for the look. Not to mention the CCW rims are like 21lbs, so the weight difference with tires is neglible between stock, though the mass is pushed out a little further. So, compared to Z06 or ZR1 replicas or TT2s, these are lighter by quite a bit. One other thing to remember, 30 or 25 series tires will ride harsh and not provide much protection for a rim, but the car will handle better due to the low profile sidewall (rim won't roll on the harder sidewall).
And those rims don't look like truck rims to me.

ok everyone heres saying 20's are too big.Im not planninh on putting 20's on my car but currently i have the 17 front 18 back corvette rims on my 99 transam.The fat spokes not the y2k.They look hella sweet id post pics but this is actually my first time on this computer i just got it an hour ago.My point is-my car is also lowered on kyb gas adjustable shocks and eibach pro stage 2 springs.The front wells are pretty stuffed.Anything else and youll see tuckage.However,the back are as open as a hookers leggs.Theres pleanty of room back there for 20's.PLus ive seen it in person and it looks nice.You just gotta watch your width cause my 285's are awfully close we had to modify the inner cab wall.I plan on using the 19 inch hamman pg2 all around.I think 19s are perfect and 20s are only 1 inch bigger so theyd probably look just as nice.
grn-dragon,im also building a set up for my 99 ls1 ta's headlights using hella 90 mm projectors-can you email me with some info on your progress at ls1bird@aol.com?

[QUOTE=meissenation]I've seen 20's done to look good, but as someone else said, they're going to wear your suspension out, and decline your RWHP by somewhere around 10-15hp.
Here's one of my favorite fbodies "rolling on 20s."

Wow. Looks like somthing that came out of my ***. For most wheels 18" max, some wheels like CCW's can be pulled off in 19".

There is a big difference between slapping on some ghetto looking **** on your SPORTS CAR (the usual reaction

The 20s that DO look good on these cars costs major $$$, and even then it should be a 19" F, 20" R combo to really look right. You're not going to get a "good deal" on wheels like HRE or CCW that make 20" wheels unless you consider dropping $6,000 on a set of wheels alone a "good deal."

the only wheel i have ever thought looked good that was bigger than 18s were the ccw 505a's posted up. of course all three of thoes look nice, but dont think ure gonna get that badass look with any other wheel.

20's look like ****...
I'm not a flamer at all and enjoy different looks, but 20's on an f-body never look good to me. The size of the wheels do not fit the look of an f-body.
Plain and simple.

I also like things that are different. Thats why I did what I did. Chrome Z06's and every other "dime a dozen" mod don't do anything for me anymore. Everyone's tastes are different, so do whatever you like.

Normally i wouldn't like twenty inch rims on a f-body, but a few people that have responded have pulled it off in my opinion (VSGLS1,GOTv-8, and GMDragon). I think if you stagger the twenty with a nineteen it looks better.
