I dont mean to sound like a *** but I would never put 20s on a F-Body. There are not much people on here with camaros on 20s. I have seen a few members with nice camaros from the valle you might want to talk to them for some ideas. Good luck its your car so do what you want with it.

Its your car and to each their own but damn, 20s are large on an f-body. Too much bling, stick with 18s IMO

Besides how they look 20 inch rims will make your car perform worse and wear out suspension components faster.

I have seen some 19s that people make work very nicely. Personally I'd only go 18 at the most, but you should look into some of the 19s, they fit much nicer and look far, far better.

If you like the look do it! I have 19x10 and 20x10 billet wheels, as you can see people don't like it, but who cares (look at my car I did it because I wanted to, you can't even imagine how much flack I get for the color and other stuff!). I think the right 19's and 20's look great, as long as they are not the big flashy chrome blingy rims, I will agree 20's all around is too much. Make the decision for yourself, but here is some pics you asked for.

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."

Man people cant help themselves huh? Go for it man, I think they look trick. Theres a guy with a nice viper steel gray Camaro with 19 and 20 ccw's on there. Looks nice as hell. Big wheels fill out these large wheel wells.

i feel that 20 inch rims on a newer f-bod look disgusting, unless the wheel itself has class to it. more like a more "vintage" look such as the cragar ss. or tourqe thrust II. If the wheel dosent look like something that belongs on a truck rather than a hotrod, in my opinion it sucks. If i were you i would stick with the 18's if you like big wheels, and 17's if your more into performance. I dont know how to post pics or i would post you up some of my silver ss with chrome 17 inch C6 rims. i think you would change your mind.

if you're getting a deal on them, I take it you have a style already picked out? If so, why not post the style and we can tell you whether or not we like it.

I have 19's and love them. If I were you I would go with 19's or 18's save a little money to spend on other mods. Anyways your car, your money. Go for it.

Tires are gonna be hella expensive. Don't forget about that. Also, I agree that 18s are about as far as you should go.
