Why would you tuck 17's? You are probably a MCDOUCHE just like Ghost Ride with your dumb *** ideas on how to make your car "baller". Do yourself and the rest of us a favor, just go sell the car to someone who can appreciate American muscle and actually has taste, then go buy yourself a homo Honda and enter it in DUB magazine or some ****.
Just my $.02.

Don't listen to the majority of the people on this site, its the blind leading the blind. thats why you see 50 guys with 17x11's that stick out, and can't lower thier car, now they look like 4x4's. Some people live in an era where 17's are just too big, that man was never meant to have wheels that big. Too bad 19s come stock on a Volkswagen GTI, or a god forbid Corvette!
For one, you just go ahead and try to lower a car with a 19/20 combo, especialy 2-3 inches!!!!!!. Second, the corvettes are built to have rims that big, thats why the factory makes them with those and f-bodies with 17's, wierd huh? By puttin rims on that big you give up almost all performance, which makes me curious as to why you bough a 5.7 V8 in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and by the way, the majority of the people on this site know what they are talking about, thats why they are the MAJORITY and you are the MINORITY, get it?

youre right, some!!!! thats it, and I already said that. But telling someone to not put 20's and lambo doors on an F-Body is not stupid advice from a newbie, its common sense.

I have 19's on my vette and they are the biggest I would install. Stick to Fikse, HRE, CCW, iForged, Forgedline. 19's are max, no 20's.

ccw sp16a 19x11 with 18x10 front




i forged 18/19 combo




hre




fiske fm5 (best wheel ever for a camaro, hands down)



its amazing what the search button will do, and all these guys that have the wheels i just posted, those are the "ballers" and they have "pimp" rims in the f-body community.

instead of "pimp", i like to use the word "****" or "bitchen"

ive been out of high school for a year now (yes i pay for all of my own ****, including a place to stay) and i realized that bling bling wheels are just gay, it doesnt look clean or sleek or anything, huge *** wheels are just a way of trying to hard to stand out and get noticed.

dont ruin your car buddy, tastefully mod and and keep it clean, you must represent the f-body community well or else we drag you from a rope behind your own car.

I know that I have not posted much on this website but I have also re-registered twice now. But the comment on the 17X11's is killing me. Even my wife is laughing. I know 7 cars PERSONALLY that are running this size and an uncountable amount more on this site. FUNNY STUFF

you are driving the wrong car for the mods you are considering. Lambo doors? No, please dont. 20's on a T/A... no way, i hate wheels that look like you are riding on rubberbands.

lambo doors would be cool with some other exterior upgrades, cuz it might be tacky to have the only thing done to your car be lambo doors. If you want to see what 20's look like on an fbody, heres a pic of my car, they are for sale if you like 'em. Thanks.
