    whoa..20s on an f-body? i hardly hear about 19s. but i think you'd have to beat the piss out of the fenders..that is if they will even fit..if i remember, i don't think they will. i'd just recommend doing either 17s all the way around or 17/18 staggered like schlotzky's..that's just my two cents though

          if i've said it once, i've said it a thousand times...save the dubs for an escalade man.

          18's are plenty big on a f-body, and if you plan on lowering, 17's look great too.

            20s are gonna be hard to pull off. Looks and getting them to fit. Idk about the rivets...kind of like a truck tire.

                    I don't think they're bad ov v6 models, although on 8 cylinders its kinda dumb because they slow you down. But it shouldn't matter on a v6 fbody. Also, I think the camaros can pull them off better than a bird, but thats a personal opinion. The wheel HAS to be tasteful to even work. I wouldn't go over 18 on my SS, but on my v6 I got these and they required absolutely NO modifications to fit, so the people that said that they won't fit are incorrect. As for people and their opinions about them, well everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but they DO fit with the right tires. Here is a pic of my v6 with 20's front and rear. As whitdog said though, they are hard to pull off but I think personally I pulled them off on mine...




                    And as for that gold grill, lol it doesn't even look real. Reminds me of being a kid and coloring outside the lines...:D

                      I've seen very VERY few cars pull off 19s. I remember ONE car that was a show car on bags that actually seemed to pull of 20s decently. Other than that, no bigger than 18s.

                              I personally think 20s are wayyy to big for an f-body and look stupid as hell, the biggest I would go would be 18s, but I mean its your car man, if you want go for it.
