20" iroc wheels, who has them
i saw a website that carries the iroc wheel in 20" now and was wondering who has them, someone must, why else would they make them; does anyone have any pics i would like to see what it would look like with a wagon wheel on a 3rdgen.

www.performancewheels.com sells IROC wheels but only up to 18". 20"'s would not even work on our cars not to mention how dumb it would look. You ahve to rebuild the whole suspenstion even to get the 18" to to fit. Just ask MR. IROC-Z. He has the 18's and they are awesome!!!!!!!!!

You don't need to do anything to the suspension for 18" wheels. As long as the overall rolling tire diameter isn't changed, there will be no difference between 16s and 18s. If you can find a thin enough tire, the same would go for the 20s as long as your overall diameter doesn't change. Mr. IROCZ probably had problems because his car is slammed into the weeds.

Yes,
I had problems because my car is so low....
but this is the whole point! If your car is
not lowered, the car will look like a
"wagon". There is another IROC-Z
around here that runs those 18's and his
car is only lowered with the regular
Eibach springs...thus there is still a
two finger gap in the wheel wells... the
car just looks weird...the 18's make it the car sit too high...i duno..just my opinion?

whoa fellas........ don't get the wrong idea ha ha. i would never put 20" on my car i'm just happy with my stock chrome rims, it was just a question of whether anyone has seen them and what there thoughts were. personally i thought it was funny that someone would make them, 18" is plenty big enough in my opinion. although i would like to see a car with one and how hard it would be for them to turn.

Maybe it's just me, but I think the low-rider look is just plain ugly.I would'nt put anything larger than a 17" on my car, because i do'nt like the look of a large wheel with rubberband tires. I also think it looks stupid when the car sits so low that the tires sit up inside the wells, besides i like to be able to drive on the street without bottoming out.

I agree with Odin. As much as I like Mr. IROCZ's car, the first thing I'd do if I bought it would be to bring it back up an inch or so. I like an even gap all the way around a tire. That makes it look like the wheel well was molded around the tire. If It sits too low, it winds up with a cresant shape that I don't like.

I disagree with some of you- I think the lowered camaro look is best- Infact i think Mr Irocs car is perfect( ive seen it in person )- My car is lowered with 18" rims too but mines probaly lower than Mr Irocs( its too low but I love it and it handels like no other ). I definetly think those 20" irocs might look good on a SUV but not a camaro( 18" is the largest i think that looks good ). Also your right a lot of lowered camaros scrape alot but i scraped somewhat stock too.Thats just another one of those things you put up with a camaro.

Grntde, Mr.IROC-Z has a nice ride, but I would not call it the sweetest ever...not even close. If you lower it to the point where you lose some drivability and the vehicle rides like a Winston Cup car (he has admitted this), it isn't worth it.
Then again, that is only my opinion.

Ravenous ...stronger than you think.

I just really like what he did to that car! It sits just right with the larger IROC wheels. I bet it handles great too!! It's still the sweetest IROC 'vert I've seen.
