I'm looking at getting 20's and what tire size should i run. and can i even lower the car with 20's?

 

hey whats up, i have 19x9.5's on the front and 20x10's on the rear of my Z. i am running 285/30YR-20 for my 20's. i have no problems with them at all. i am in the process of lowering my car, have the rear done and have no problems with the 20's. the fronts possibly could give you a little problem unless you pound your fenderwell a little. not exactly sure though but could depend on the width of the 20's on the front. im sure someone else will have some input for the 20's on the front. lata

 

large rubber bands?

 

ummmmm yeah?? dude honestly what is the reason for that response? did it answer redline67's question, no. did he ask for your opinion on what you thought of 20 inch tires, no. he asked a question to elicit a response, not an opinion. what is up with people whoring on other peoples posts latey? i mean not to start trouble but give me a break, geez

 

you need to chill,... maybee understand the joke that with a 20 inch rim you are going to need some teeny tiny sidewalls. who died and made you moderator

 

dude i am chilled im no moderator at all and nobody died, i am just saying. didnt know there was a joke about them. no harshness intended buddy, i was just stating that alot of people ask questions and can never get a response because people start jumping onto their posts and then things get out of hand. so thats it im done oh and by the way PM me and let me know how that front end is coming along man, im interested to hear about it! lata

 

i know for sure that a 20x8 will fit. get 245/30/20, and there should be no prob, even for a lowered car. look in super chevy mag. and find the pages that sell wheels, there's one that looks similar to the firebird wheels that are 20's for cheap, like 1000 a set.

 

Please don't ghetto-out an F-body...

and FYI, 275's barely fit on the front. Anything more and it will rub. Period.

As for the guy w/19's and 20's, your overall diameter is HUGE. Your car is now slower, AND you get to avoid every pothole so you don't turn your expensive wheels into egg shapes.

Stay with 17's or 18's man. Seriously.

i am going with a 285/30ZR20 on the rear of my Z on a 20x10 wheel, it is all in the offset of the wheel!

 

I have 20x8.5 front with a 255.35.20 and 20x10 rear with 285.30.20

Get the fronts with 6.5 inch backspace and they wont rub, even dropped 2"
Get the rears with 7-7.5 inch backspace. 7" You will have to roll the quarter lip, but the offset looks perfect. 7.5 inch, you wont have to roll it, but it's pulled in a litle more.

Grendal- My car looks ghetto as f$$k with 20s on it... but only because you say so.

 

DOH!

 

hehe

 

my car is now slower? sorry bud the few milliseconds that i am missing doesnt bother me at all for the look that i have achieved with my wheels. when i actually start going to the track next year after i get my stroker trust me buddy nitto's will be in the mail heading to my house so i can use them there. but for basically my car that gets 1500 miles a year on it to cruise around and go to car shows, the little acceleration that i might have lost means nothing to me. cya

 

DOH!

 

LMAO!
hey, my car is ghetto!

what's up homie!..........yo b!

SLOWER????
it is called changing gear ratios!!!!
DUH!!!!

plus, if i am gonna go for speed, i have a spare set of 17's with 275/40ZR17's on'em!!!!

DUH!!!!
