I don't know man.....my 19's on the back are plenty big. When you narrow a rear end and get the huge lip they look that much larger. Keep that in mind if you go minitub.

I have seen very few 1st gen with 20's on the rear that looked right and still think they would have looked better with a 18 or 19. IMO 20 x 10 gives the opiticle illusion that its narrower than it really is. I would not even think about a 20" in anything less than a 12" wide.

19s and 20s look great, its all about stance. And tire height.

This camaro sits beautiful. If you dont mind, can you pm me some specs on this car. How much it was lowered? Tire sizes? suspension parts? Upper lower control arms? Spindle? Rear setup? Leafs? Coilovers? I am trying to configure what I want to use for my 69 build and I love the stance on this car.

19/20 combo is tough to beat.
