Ditch the 20's, the car looks way better with some tire showing. That's my opinion, other wise your car is looking great.

X 2 I agree more tire.

X3.......ditch the 20's. Looks great with more tire.

wow, so surprised to see so many correct responses :unibrow: typically everyone on this board seems to think the bigger the wheels and the more rubberband the tires the better, so make the vote x4 :thumbsup:

The muscle cars look the best with 17s or 18s, but any larger just looks stupid.

Me too, no 20"s, too big in my opinion. Love this build Barry.

10-19-09 Ok finally get a chance for an update ..been working on the small details not really worth pics ..went back with the 17`s as i think it has a much tougher look and will be more drivable...hung the front sheetmetal even has a hood on it now ..just temp while gapping fenders and setting in the radiator support....started working on the side scoops i do not like the overlap look so i am flush mounting them ill show pics...also removed the 8.8 rear and ordered up a new 9 inch assembly with 31 spline axles 3.50 new posi and center section as well as willwood disc brakes, should be here in a week or so then it will be a roller again and i will roll it outside and take some pics.
