I been growin a wild hair lately and it's making have this wild idea of putting 19x9 fronts and 20x10 rears on my 98 black z28. I'm almost set on B.C. Smoothie 2's. I did a search and saw the pic of the 18/20 stagger on the black t/a, and I've seen the iforged on Trilogy's car. I'm just wondering what some of you would think about this combo. Also, it looks as if it would be necessary to put a ground effects kit on to get the stance to look right, as lowering looks out of the question. Hmmm, would I be better off going 19" all around or maybe even *gasp* 18"s. Help me make a sizing decision please. ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)

Um, no :p So, i'm taking it that you think a 19/20 stagger would not be a good look. If I don't do it that way, i'll do 19"s all around or 18"s once I found out how much "modification" it takes to run 19s. Guess I'll wait for some more input. ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)

I run 20x8.5 all around and didnt have to do any modifications. I run a 245/35. The 19's should fit perfect up front but the 20x10 may rub alittle, just fold the lip in on the fender well. It will look sweet if you put the 20x10 on the rear.

Well, after some checking around, I've found that you can't get the smoothie 2 in a 19" size. So I'm either going to have to go to another style B.C. Rim (Fury or Hotrod) OR go to a different brand wheel all together, I think the combo will look sweet, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to put some sort of ground effects/body kit on to make it look like it's the correct heighth off the ground. Think I'm gonna post in the appearance/detailing section about body kits for this type of application. Any more opinions?

19s and 20s would be nice. i would have got 20s in the back but axis doesnt make bigger than 19by11 i almost went with HREs,they make up to 22by13 if you center the axle and roll fenders it should be fine. my car is lowerd 1 inch and was fine once i rolled and centerd. a camaro is a big car and 20s are fine in the back. willispeed

Willis, nice car! What are the offsets on your wheels front and rear? The rear sticks out there pretty far. Not too far but they are out there, unlike the stock wheels or the ZO6 wheels that are tucked in so far they look like a spare tire. ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
