Ruff 280 You like?

What do you guys think of a 20x10.5 and a 19x8.5 setup? 285/30/20 and 245/35/19.... Chrome like the pictures the 20" have a 4 inch lip and the 19" have a 2.4 inch lip

No reason to go that big on an f-body. 18's would be the largest I'd go as anything larger tends to look retarded.

So even you think 19" are to big? Was it an everyday driver? I dont know I catch a lot of **** on this site for wanting 20"s on the back.. but that just makes me want them more.....

No. That looks shitty. The rims are so big, they look outta place. IMO 18" are big enuff on an f-body.

Vetts can pull off the differnt diameter wheels since they are designed from the factory that way with TIRES and WHEEL WELLS at a different diameter . . . F-Cars the tire diameter needs to be the same or the ABS fails . . . So F-Cars look really strange IMHO, when the side wall of the front tire is taller than the side wall of the rear tire.

An no I do not like the look of that Black Camaro, first too low and second the rear tire is narrower then the wheel . . . YUK.

this cant be a seriuos question.

xstaz answered some of the difference.

and vettes and fbodies are different cars. What wheels look good on an escaldade may not look good on an explorer.
