are wheels ever to big?

[steve spencer]

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.

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

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

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 Good god I would hate to be the guy trying to mount that one.

You know that bugatti veyron has a 365 rear tire 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

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..
