  • 20's and 18's or 19's and 18's?

    I'm looking to get some Ruff Racing wheels and am unsure of which ones i can get.

    I want the back to look more aggresive while filling in more of the wheel well than the front. I know for sure i want 18's in the front. If i got 20's in the back would this screw up my car and steering somehow? If i did get the 20's would i need buy anything in order to avoid problems?

    If not 20's would 19's work?

      20s are pretty much out, 19s will work but you need to use such a low pro tire it's kind of irrational.

      18s or 17s are the way to go

        18/20 combo would look stupid.

        17's fill out the wells pretty good.

            Thanks to those who answered my question.

            I wasn't asking if they'd look good or not.

              17's all around + lowered suspension + still enough room for full 3" exhaust and cutout:

              tell me that doesn't look good and i'll eat your mousepad lol.

              no loss in performance, great handling, and they fill up the wheel wells perfectly...i wouldn't go any bigger unless your feeling like pounding fenders and going nowhere in a hurry. and for f-bodys sake, save the dubs for your escalade man.

              search around for guys that were dumb enough to put that big of rims on their rides and see if they can put any good performance numbers down....we'll wait.

                17's are the deff the way to go. i think anything bigger is compensating for a small penis:p

                  17" or 18" max. Why ruin your cars performance with HEAVY wheels that were not designed or intended for it? If you want super big wheels get a truck...
