what kind of car do you have..

the 18 20 combo is nice usually..

That is terrible looking.
Yes wheels can be way too big. IMHO

IMO it's totally dependant on the car. It needs to be able to keep the right stance and have the tires actually up in the fenders.

22's may be a bit much on a 1st gen camaro, but the one I have seen on 20/22's was NIIIICE :hail: Probably doesn't handle all that well but it looked great.

Building a 65 caddy, 22's are probably a little small :willy:

Want it to handle really well, 18's all around is the money setup.

Wheels are to big when they negatively affect the car or do not suit what the car does. Like 20's on a fast car is stupid as nobody makes a gripey tire. Or if you have to lift a car for the wheels. :_paranoid :lol: :faint:

wheels help make the car, for sure, just don't fall for that bling crap!!

I dont like those 24's crap ....Im am around 17 and 18

Tee Hee.....how about these. :rofl:

The window says it all. :D

my pic didnt work ill try to get help and show u the pic it a 69 camaro with air ride a 383 stroker motor and its on the ground kinda looks like a toy

Sounds like a sweet ride. Everyone has their own taste but I like 18" wheels. Good luck.

IMO...17,18,19 are the sweet spot on F and X Bodies. You need to do a ton of work to the inner fenders to get bigger ones to look OK. I usually don't even spec a 20 until you're into a Chevelle (GM intermediate body) and then 22 in the rears is a definite max. Full size cars look best with 20/22 combo. SUVs and trucks are really the only time I would use 24+ size rims. My $.02

Damn :unibrow: :thumbsup:
That looks really cool!
I mean that this work, but i dont think it will look good with bigger wheels than that.
But that looks really killer :thumbsup:

For a weekend cruiser thats bad to the bone :hail:

Here is another with 20/22's

If you're gonna do it, it HAS to be on bags and down plowing ant hills :D

The only tough call is to do 22's, or run 20x13 with 345/25/20's out back. Having 3ft of rear tire gives it quite a presence.

Either way it would be a money setup for driving around pulling girls :yes:

Steve i like the look of it! the stance is awsome they suit the car :thumbsup:
What wheels u running?
Keep us posted :)

hard to see. need rest of nose on.

The Wheels Are Boss Brand. Just Got Car Yesterday Will Have More Pics Soon . Thanks For All The Response On The Look!

Your car looks great.I personally don't like 22's.But they seem to look good on yours.

I just got home from the drag strip and my 37 ford with M/T radial sportmans(the new pro street tires) that are 33x22x20's ran 9's.

It's what you like, but to me 18's whould look nice to me. Again it is what you like.

it looks like you nailed the tire size on the car perfect

big wheels ever to big
 

No,not if the car is low enough.As one member said he perfers 18's because it looks nice,well that's good but the question is do you want a nice looking car or one that's just BAD ASS...

That's just me :D

looks good to me
 

Whitby's car looks like a 18/22. Appears so in the photos posted.

I am running a 18/19 on my 69...its yellow with the hockey stripe as well.

back to your original question. I think you car looks great with 20/22

They make race tires in 18-inch.. so that's where I see the cutoff at from a "form over function" perspective. 17s are better performing (given the same type rim.. ie. forged, etc.). Sometimes you need an 18 to accomodate very large brakes but it's still not going to perform better than a 17 - all things being equal.

And there's nothing wrong with wanting to look nice. We're not building race cars, we're building street cars that perform. :shrug:

I think your camaro looks good. if the car has good stance you can pull off 22's. I think a car running 22's needs major work so that it looks good at all heights which is usually slammed with ground clearance, like Johnsons cuda.

my 2 pennies

You nailed the tire and stance, and yes stance is the answer to big wheels like others i agree completley, look samazing nice color nice to see something other than red on a camaro nice work :thumbsup:

Yes wheels can be too big!!!

That is by far, the best looking car I've seen on 20/22s, but still I think it would look MUCH better on 17s or 18s.

You've got a killer stance. I didn't think it was possible for those sizes to look good.

That black car posted further down the topic is absolutely hideous IMHO though... too much difference between the front/rear sizes, and all cars look dumb when the wheels are cambered way in from dropping them so low on bags - it looks broken, not cool.

I can't stop laughing at the Pukes of Hazzard camaro.

I think it looks good , but whats up with the heavy chrome wheels ? Boze? I usually see those on some escalades and stuff, a billet wheel would look much better and be much ligther.

keep the pics coming

If we are limiting our discussion to "LOOKS" alone it is just a matter of ones personal opinion..
Most younger guys (30 and under) like the look of a well executed 20" or even 22" wheel on 1st gen cars..
Being an old fart (46) I do not like anything more than a 18" on most cars.
To me 22"+ wheels look cartoonish...
Scott

thank for all replys
 

thanks for all your input i think we are going with classic torq thrust 2 20x10 on rear and 18x8 on front. the wheels on the car are for a 57 chevy we are building. the motor in this car looks killer will post more pic in a couple weeks when it gets all the trim put on it. i will say i got the sickness now gota have a twin turbo 427 in the new car we are starting. this car is going to a auction in dallas in november.

if its any help to you guys, i have 19s and 22s on my 70 chevelle.

That is one bad A$$ Chevelle my friend!!!!!

love that car sits beautifully :thumbsup:

wHEELS
 

I just picked up a 97 Z with 17x 9.5 front and 18x 10.5 rear wheels . Rides much like the stock 2000 ss I had and actually doesnt look all that big on it.
By the way those 24's and 26's just look plain stupid in my opinion. In the 80's when 4x4's were so popular, most of them had less ground clearance!!!

I love that 20,22 combo!! I wish they made some 345/25/21's :unibrow:

Wicked looking chevelle !!!
The camaro looks really good too i'm almost surprised that it looks that good.
Scotts Black camaro looks wicked also and i thought it had 20/18 but now that i see the others it looks like 22/18. i also think the yellow camaro could look even more killer with som HRE's or Asanti's but hey we all have budgets and those wheels look good way to go

guys i think scotts black 69 has 20 inch upfront ;)

you know i'm not positive anymore. The pic posted here sure looks like an 18 up front. But one in PHR is definitely a 20, and it's SLAMMED.

It looks mean on the 20/22's thats for darn sure.

345/25/21 :lol: Good god I would hate to be the guy trying to mount that one.

You know that bugatti veyron has a 365 rear tire :unibrow: No clue what the profile or wheel size is though, it's some funky euro measurement.

365-71 R 540. I figure thats somewhere around a 365/25/21 :hail:

We have 335x30x20 on the Cuda..They are Michelins that come on the Porsche Carrera GT..Michelin says they are they best streetable tire they make..they grip pretty dang good..we have 295x30x19 on the front..they are the front tires that also come on the Porsche. Good for well over 200mph..We looked at 22's on my 69 Camaro and the Cuda..We felt the best combo for looks was 20's rear, 18 or 19 front..22's just overpowered the car in our opinion..
