What do you think of 20 inch wheels on a Camaro/Firebird?

[Slam32]

I am getting new wheels an I am thinking about getting 20 inch chrome wheels. What do you guys think about dubs on a Camaro or Firebird? I think it will make it look unique and be one of a kinda in my town. Also what will this do to the handling of the car? How will the ride be with so little tire? And does anyone have any pics?

The ride is going to feel like absolute **** and it'll slow the car down alot. I also wouldn't be surprised if you got a little tire rub in the corners. Mainly it's not how big the wheel is in diameter but in width that helps your traction and handling. I would highly suggest against this. I have 17's on mine and I can feel like every rock and bump on the damn road. 20's are going to be exponentially worse.

I personally don't like huge wheels. Anything bigger than 17 or 18 is to much for me. Not to mention those low profile tires aren't suppose to last any time at all, and as much as I burn out...

Wouldn't 20 fill up the entire wheel well not including the tires? Just something to think about. Anyways, I wouldn't do it if I were you but, it's your car you do what you like.

I think you can find some better to spend 5k on. Like a Supercharger.

I saw a pic of some on a Camaro...made it look like it had wagon wheels on it. Looked retarded and out of place.

Amen!

Ground effects and a sweet hood, if I had to get wheels I would go for 17in chrome something. Maybe SS wheels or something similar.

They can be made to fit with low profile tires but like StockV6Cam said, the ride will feel like crap. It may be worth it to you though, it wouldn't be as bad as 20's would be and those C5 rims are pretty sweet. Maybe find some 17in C5 replicas?

If you get 20 inch wheels, make sure they are gold - and add the curb feelers for that special finishing touch of class.

ive seen a camaro and a firebird on 20's i live in CALIFORNIA u see every thing here. you will run into tire rub and a ruff ride. no burnouts 4 you and you might have to get speical spacers to make it fit right but im not %100 sure.

What year and Model is your car? 17inch Chrome c5 rims would look bad-azz or 17inch chrome 5 spoke SS rims.

I have a 1995 3.4 camaro. Would the 18inch c5's fit?

I also have a 94 Camaro, so this will give you the just of it.
