i dont know what the hell people are thinking throwing 20's on f-bodies, i think it looks stupid, and fugly!!!!!!!!!!!
i would never go bigger than 18's on an f-body.
but what do i know im running 15" bogarts

Here are my black C6 Z06 wheels. 18x9.5 fronts with 275 tires and 18x10.5 rears with 295 tires. I think 18's look great on the car. And I have bigger brakes to fill them up more so they will look even better soon.
i've got 18 in. OZs on mine ,but considering dropping to 17s for traction. But I'll also be 420 plus hp to the wheels. Even now my18x10s hooked decent with 402 to the wheels
I never knew they made an 18" ZR1 wheel. Somebody post a link.
I've had 19s for a little over 3 years now and like the way they look and the handling is better, but the ride comfort has suffered a little. Granted, I only drive the car 3-4K a year, so it's not that bad.

Ask Tony (9-ball) about the comments he got when he had the HP evo's on his 35th Camaro. For some reason, they look really good on f-bodies.
I think that 18s are the way to go on the f-bodys. But i also think that there are some rims out there that look really good with 19/18 combo or 19 all the way around......These are 19x10s all the way around....

Those 18" ZR1s look really good on the red. I too have 18x9.5 and 18x10s on 285s and i'm lowered 1".
THE RIDE IS ROUGH AT TIMES! Especially whenever I hit those unavoidable little potholes or drive on shitty roads with bumps every 10' interval. I don't think i'd get any bigger because of the ride comfort itself! It's not that bad, but I could just imagine the one inch change. Believe me... there is a big difference inch by inch in wheel height!! Especially when lowered!!
18s are all around a good wheel size with "affordable" wheels. Like said before though 19/19, 19/20 combos can look good.

I.E. Here's a link to other members' cars with 19/20 CCW 505s - T/As and Camaros so you won't have to ask

Scroll down through them! This may be the ONLY 19/20 combo i'd consider but I know they are $$$$$$!
