    That does look a lot better! Not that it looked bad before. I just put some 18s on my 71 Camaro and I really wanted to put 20s in the back but the tire sizes were sparse unless you wanted to spend a lot so I stayed with the 18s.

    Thanks.

    I found that its not the 20's that limited my tire choice it was going with a 12 inch wide 20 that did. If I would a have went with a 20x10 I would have went with a 295/45/20 or even a 305/50/20 and had the sidewall I wanted and not had that stretch tire look that I hate. But with a 12 inch wide 20 your choices are limited to 325 and up to not have a stretch tire look, the problem is all the 325 and up I've seen come in a 25 or 30 series which gives you a lower side wall. The tire I'm running is 335/30/20 and they were not expensive at all but I would have liked a 40's series a lot more.

    By the way the tire I would have liked for a 20x10 in the same brand I bought for my 20x12's would be only 150 each.
