The car in the picture is bagged. Mine was bagged and I managed to squeeze 22's underneath but it still slightly rubbed even with modifed inner fenders. 20's should be no problem. Like stated above, fitment usually it isn't a problem, but i wouldn't lower it too much without bagging it if that is the look you are going for-you'll scrape everything underneath. Honestly, talking about anything more than 18's will get you flamed up and down on this board just FYI.

After looking and looking and looking, I finally found the car to which I was referring earlier. It (and his others) belong to jer4251. The red one has 20" Z06's in this set. I think they look f**king awesome.
He's got two other F-bodies, but I'll let him post pictures of those if he wants.

You see a lot of f-bodies with 15's-17's because they like the car to perform. I had z06's 17x9.5 front 18x10.5 back and I noticed a difference. I traded those for some light weight black c5's My pic below is when it had the z06's...

I have a larger profile on the back tires so i added some spacers in the back springs to stop the rubbing. i still drive it ard (at times) still do donuts, no squeaks or rattling, but im thinking of going down to some 18 inch corvette stocks.
