I love listening to these ghetto rapper wanabes defending their "20's"! I'll bet you have a "system" playing Emenem at 100 decibels also.
Want 20's? Buy a sedan!
I saw a Grand Cherokee the other day with 22" gold wire wheels and a big brush guard on the front! WTF? Identity crisis??
Grow up kids.

???? ghetto rapper wanNabes...haha, sorry none of us by far are that. as far as having a system in my Z, yeah you can say that i do. playing emInem...sometimes. why buy a slow sedan to get 20's when they fit perfect on camaro's if done right. and the grow up kids part....yeah sure thing, sorry i am 23, graduated college and graduated at the top of a goverment program that accepts 32 people from the country a semester, have a career as a government en route air traffic controller, make basically 6 digits a year, and am doing better off than 99.9% of 23 year olds that i know. do i flaunt it, never....would you know it if you saw me, heck no....do i care how much money i make, heck no again because this is the job i've wanted to do since i was 5 years old. and the whole identity crisis thing...umm wheres the link to show what you are driving..oh yeah thats right. so i am done yet again because it is pointless to lock up some guys thread because people like to start fires that they cannot put out. cya

No doubt. When I was in high school (class of '93), we called them "Yo! Boys".... except back then it was white boys in slammed *** trucks

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html


that is good at finding out the overall diameters of tires you are thinking about....the 245/30/20 is pretty much the identical diameter as a 245/50/16

as for the "playing eminem at 100 decibles"

100 decibles isn't loud at all do you even know what decibles are? try 125-140 decibles as actually being "loud"

its funny when people make fun of 20's and stereos...when all they do is make themselves look like complete morons in the process.

BTW i plan to run 20's with a 275/45/20 tire on my truck (roughly same overall diameter as stock tires, slightly smaller though) and a 4/6 drop, and i already have a stereo

guess i'm just ghetto trash huh?



and as for the original question, that tire calculator should help you out some

Here you go. Hope you hate it.

Nothing better than a set of 20"s on a F-Body.

That's the absolute gayest looking f-body I've ever seen. Even the local Mexicans have better styling taste than THAT.

You can't even take turns in that. Hope your roads are all straight.

Obviously you're not the sharpest person, how in the hell would you drive a car that was sitting on the ground? It has air bags..

Ya, and this is coming from the guy with chrome cobra R replicas.

Why dont you pick 1 car and drive it, don't mix 2 together.

I'm not going to defend what wheels I have. I've had'em for a week and I've already sold them anyway (I decided I don't like Mustang wheels on a Camaro).

Secondly, I'm fully aware of airbags. I don't get the point of making a car sit so low that it looks ridiculous. The entire idea of lowering is for either a) lower center of gravity (performance) or b) a nice "stance".... on the ground isn't a nice stance.

But, it's your money and your car. You can make it look stupid if you wish

FYI, my last set of wheels were Bogart Racing Wheels. At about 7lbs each, my car was 2 tenths faster at the strip with those on vs. the 17" Cobras. Guess how much 20's are slowing YOU down.

I guess running 13.52 @ 102mph you need all the tenths you can get. Hell with that time I know you dont have any Hp just a couple of hamsters running in a wheel.

FYI Centerline has come out with a 22" wheel that is 21 lbs

not all 20s and whatnot are 50 lbs like you seem to think

i don't know about camaros, but on trucks a nice 4 link out back with bags and bags up front gives you better towing and ride than a stock truck, with the option of sitting the frame on the ground of course

You guys have GOT to be kidding. You're going back and forth on what someone else chooses to have on their car?! Man...the appearance forum is a completely subjective section of this site. In another forum...you can talk about what mods you can do to make you car faster or whatnot and if someone disagrees with you...well then...maybe you can offer some proof of why they're wrong. I mean, there might actually be some tangible evidence there. But here, in the Appearance Forum, it's subjective. There is no way you can prove anyone wrong, because that's just the way it is. If you like something, great. If you don't, great. If you don't like something...then fire off a flame or two. I don't see a problem with that at all...but then, let it go. There's no sense insulting all different kinds of people ("mexicans" and "southerners" just in the last few posts), just because you are trying to make a point to one person in a forum.

In a nutshell...flame if you want to...but don't let it turn into a fire...eventually...fires usually get put out. Our moderator's are busy enough.
