20" rims...should i do it?

thinking of going with a set of kmc condor 20`s, all around on my 95 z28. Came to the decision i`m not going to race this baby(25k miles)so i decided mabye i`d just dress her up. Problem is i`ve only seen one 95 with 20`s and was trying to get some feedback about pros and cons. so anyone with an opinion, let it flow.By the way, my real hotrod is a 61 chevy truck,which is in progress(with a freaked out 327). thanks ahead of time guys!!!

i think anything over 18" is too big for an F-body

Me too! 17s are good, but 18s look just right IMHO. Just think about the price of tires man!

Nice car and nice rims, but can you NOT LOWER IT? It would look so much better lowered, or is it just TOO much rim? I don't like it. It makes the car look fake or something. Sorry. Just my opinion.

I would do it only if you don't drive it everyday. They look cool when the car is lowered, and imo don't look too big on an f-body. If you drive the car everyday, get 18's.

I don't drive mine much, so 20's are fine.

Yes you should do it, but do it right. Get at least 20x9.5 all around or at least 20x8.5 for the front. I've done an extensive search for for lightweight chrome wheels that look good on fbodies and all I can tell you is that you better be ready to spend some $$$. Polished ones are a lot cheaper, lighter, and ones that looke good on fbodies are easier to find but you don't get the nice chrome finish.

19s or 20s look dumb on F-bodies without GFX.

Don't go with 20s, too big! 19s all around is the absolute largest I would go with, but 18s are cool too.

yeah jack, i have already asked aircop40 if he was going to lower it and he said that he has the drop springs but just hasn't had the time to do it......
and yes, when he does lower it, it will look 10 times better..

whats up man, i dont know if your words being CAPITALIZED were that way to be sarcastic or what.....but yes i can lower my car. your entitled to your opinion as well as i am mine...but i think the rims on my car look fine without it being lowered, and no it isn't TOO much rim to do it, i am gonna do it over the winter. i have adjustable shocks and new springs i just have not had the time to do it yet. my car looks fake? how? and you dont have to be sorry, like i said that is your opinion...i have my opinions on my car as well as your car, and we are both entitled to have those. lata
