It's a good looking wheel, but in order to make a 20x10 fit you will have to modify to an extent that requires you to change your myspace song to "Ima lift it".

I do like the wheels though, just not on an fbody for fitment issues along with the universal lug pattern that doesn't belong.

Lug patterns is "thechnically" wrong. Should be 5 x 120.65 . . .

35 mm offset on a 10" wheel out back is going to be a tight fit. . .

I woulda been against the 20's too- but do a search on 20's here- there are some cars that pull them off really well.

Those may actually look good. Good luck with the fitment. Some guys on here have 20s but I think they ride at stock height so if your lowered at all, i'd say forget it.

I think they actually might look good. Most of the newer sports cars are getting the big wheels straight from the factory now too.

One thing to consider... goodbye traction for sure.

20's on an f-body look absolutely retarded. It's almost as bad as the stick on fender porthole/vents that all the latinos have.

Those newer cars also have a taller tire diameter than our 26" tires. That means their sidewall thickness is still proportional to the larger wheel size. I've never seen a set of 20s on a 4th gen that looked right, every case would have looked better with 18s or 19s instead.

i personally won't go over a 17" wheel on my car, mainly due to the fact that 18" + tires start getting expensive really quickly, and also the bigger the wheel, the heavier the wheel.

the only way i would go with anything over a 17" wheel is if i was absolutely required to in order to get bigger brakes to fit, and even then i wouldn't go over an 18" wheel.

that wheel does look pretty sweet, but 20" is just WAY too big to look good on these cars.

x2 some cars just look good with 20's but the next looks like crap.... I say no but could be proved wrong.. 18-19's are plenty big.

Save the money and get something else that will fit properly and look right on the car.
