Question Opinions/Pics: 20" Torque Thrust II's All the Way Around or 18's in Front?

My boss has a buddy that works for American Racing and can get me rims for my 93 black camaro. My question is what size to go with. I have seen a couple of pics of 18's all the way around (which look sweet as all heck), but I haven't seen too may 20" pics. I was wondering what you all thought of;

A. 18x8 Front with 18w10 Rear
B. 18x10 Front and Rear (will 10" fit in front?)
C. 18x8or10 Front with 20x10 Rear
D. 20x8or10 Front with 20x10 Rear

I don't know what would fit/look the best. Ideally pictures would answer it for me. They can be either f-body pics with these rims...but nothing under 18s.
Your opinions/tips/thoughts would be greatly appreciated as this is a very important step in getting the right look for my car. I would also be putting on some eibach prokit springs to achieve the right ride level. Thanks, John.

IMHO, if you are gonna have two different sizes, I wouldnt make them any less than 1" difference. That camaro is badass, but I just think that 18's and 20's show too much difference. If it were me, I would go 19 up front, 20 rear.

I would go 19's up front, but I don't think they make that wheel in 19's. Besides, I am really leaning towards 20's all the way around. I just like the way they fill the wheel gaps better. Thanks for the replys and pics. I hope to see more opinions as well as pics. Thanks, John.

My opinion.... get the 20s all the way around if you want, and can afford them, but it doesn't look right without ground effects. The wheels will fill up the wheelwell perfect, but the car will sit up too high, even with drop springs.

The 18/20 combo looks out of proportion, as stated earlier.

The 18s all the way around would be easier, and cheaper.

Does anyone know who's convertible SS that is with the Torque Thrust II's on it? I would like to email him and ask him some questions about backspacing on the 20's.

In my opinion... don't mess around with mismatched sizes... go with 20x10 on all 4...but make SURE to lower it correctly or it will look ghetto as hell.

Also would your friend be able to get (4) 20x10 for me ?

Let me know.

I totally agree with putting 20x10's all the way around, but im just curious as to how much banging you have to do to fit them in there without rubbing.

Go with 20x9 in front and 20x10 in the back or just 20x9 all the way around

What would be the biggest size tire I could run on the back of the car with the 20x10's?

I think a Photoshopping is in order for this picture. Someone should put the 20s on the front just to see what it would look like.

I have a love/hate relationship with 20s: With the right style, they look great! With a ghetto style, they look terrible. Too bad most of the time they look terrible because of the bling bling style
