Hey isnt that blue one with the Tuned wheels CarNDrvrs old car? If it is, I think those are 17's.

What kinda of tires are you 19/20 inch guys running? 35-30 series sidewalls?

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

that's what i'd like to know as the red 91 above you looks alright but it has the right height and tire profile. it still looks like the actual body is sitting to high though.

Sonar_un

Those wheels are 5Zigen Hyper 5ZR's. Typically on the import market. They do make the wheels up to 11" wide I believe. They also come in a 20" version.

KonArtist

Maybe they are 17"............I think I was thinking of some wheels similar that hawks had that were 19"(look alot alike).

Any more pics of this car?

not sure of size

DanTheMan_smlk

hmmm....i dont like them that much.

I dont really even like chrome wheels because so many ppl have crome wheel covers that its been played out....If u see some car going 20 mph, you cant tell if they are chrome rims or chinsy wheel covers...

whatever

Is the one that kon artist posted and the one that shawn18 posted the same car? Just one after paintjob and gfx change? The door molding is gone and I thought the one at the car show had 18"/19" combo?

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

too different cars with similar style wheels.

here's an example.. tell me what size rim is on this car?

mods i will remove this picture quickly but the picture and question serves a purpose once someone answers it.

well i can't get the picture so i'll link it... click here and guess the size rim. no cheating.

20... on a factory acura.

look at the picture i'm replacing it with and guess.

try to guess this one as well.

WOW....wouldn't have guessed that. You would think that big would look like crap.

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

that was the point we were discussing with the pictures. it really depends on alot of factors. just like a raked 17/18 or now the c6 18/19 combo if you build the wheels to match the car they will look good whether they are 15's or 22's.

1quickIROC

Jeff, your missing one overlooked fact. The Jag and Maybach look great with large rims, because there not sports cars. You think the body height on the red Camaro is too high, look at the Jag and Maybach. I think anything bigger than 18's on a 3rd gen makes the body seem too high off the ground.

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

well the only reason 20's would do that is because the tire physically moves the car up 1" over normal height. there are a few tires that will allow stock tire dia. but then your running on a 25 profile which is insane for the street.

the point your talking about i have not missed but simply not spoken about. 19" is really the largest you could put on our cars and have a decent sidewall to drive on as well as not physically raise the car 1" with the profile of the tire. reguardless everyone will have their opinions of what looks good, what's borderline and what's over the top. the key is to build the wheel to fit the lines of the car. just as a 20 is too big a 13 is too small.

many of these other vehicles with larger rims are built around the body which is why the vette has a un-even size for example. I truly think if you used a 20" with the right tire and at least a 3" lip for depth perception you could make it fit the feel of the car. unfortunately i don't think i'm going to try it as to do so i'd have to run an extremely thin profile and i need to be able to drive the car.

slammed_z

just curious whats stoppin you from runnin abit smaller profile? streets really bad up there or just worried about bending a rim?

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

streets are pretty bad and with a 4" lip it's easy to bend a rim even if you plan out your routes...

the other thing that is difficult is i need an 8" rim up front because of the air struts. not alot of room so the 20x8.5 which is typical for 2 piece billet would be a tight fit and look right. if i knew 100% i could get away with it without having the tires lift the car i'd probably try it. but i don't think it will be noticeable enough with the other option anyhow and i'll have a safer profile tire.

TexasLT1

with those wheels 19" is the way to go. 20's just look out of place. so what do you have in store for us next jeff?

slammed_z

just go 19's man..20's would be nice..but you dont wanna have air ride and have it sit at stock hieght thats just gay...besides you get a safer profile like you said..i think 19's would look really good anyways

OutLaw305

those 20's do look sick though....

hotrod87camaro

camaros/firebirds are made for speed not bling bling. to me, 20's on thirdgen looks retarded and makes me want to point and laugh at you, but thats just my

iansane

iTrader: (1)

I like the 19's.

Aren't 19" tires alot more expensive than 20" ?

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

well if you can find a thirdgen that has 20's and you can beat them on the street then feel free to laugh all you want. that's your opinion. would it be fair for me to laugh at someone with 15's because i don't like them?

difference in opinion is what makes the hobby fun, if everyone had the same size, color and motor what fun would it be?

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

i'm not sure, boze is offering me 20's to use their car in their hotrod ads, i'm telling them that the lift the 20's will give the car won't be as nice as they are thinking. if i were to do heavy body modifications to the rear it could be possible but with air struts up front i can't run anything wider then a 245 tire and the 20's only come in 8.5 which is pushing it... still working out the details so i'm not sure. the 20" wheel is only 2lbs heavier and the tires are only $80 more for a set of 4 so it isn't an issue of breaking the bank, it's an issue of making it fit the build.

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

i agree with you and hense the problem.. i'm still trying to see if i can work it out by changing other things. in essence it's all an illusion, the 20's with a 4" lip will really look like 19's however i have to find the right tire profile. 19's without a doubt are the safer choice though but then again what is fun about being safe?
