Default LETS SEE PICS OF 19s AND 20s

I am going to be buying new wheels this summer for my black WS6 and looking for as many 19" and 20" setups as possible. I will be buying the same size radius wise for all four corners but staggered looks are welcomed as well as Zs and SSs'. Thanks ahead of time.
GO STEELERS!

20s are just a tad too big IMO, I will be going with 19s this spring. Heres my buddys car with 20" Foose wheels.

Something to consider is that anything over 18" and it will start to "lift" your car and give it a 4x4 look. I've seen several t/a's with 19s and lowering springs but even then they don't look lowered. I don't know if you even care about lowering you car but you sure don't if you're going 20".

Here's 18s at all 4 and lowered 2". When I get coil-overs I'm going down .25 or .5 in. more in the rear.

Thanks, if you check the sig you'll get an idea of the time invested. Interior is next after I get the car back from GMR with the TT and new forged motor.

those 20's are F'in homosexual, give ludacris his bird back. if i were you man i'd go 18's and lower it or else you are going to take that "muscle car" look away from it, unless you don't care about that.

Here is my '97 on 19's. They have a 1 1/2 inch lip on them and I think it makes them look smaller. Everytime someone comments on my rims they say........"are those 18's???". I just need to get my car lowered and I'll be a lot happier w/ the overall look.

Unless it's a sport style wheel I DO NOT LIKE 20's on F-BODY's PERIOD. IT'S NOT COOL. Stick with 17's and 18's, you know something classic.

Wow. Your conversion looks amazing. Why didn't G.M. offer the Trans Am without t-tops? I got a Formula.....
