20's on my Vert

Still working on too many things at once, but took some pics to get your thoughts on the wheels i bought. got a hell of a deal on them and they fit without addaptors. cars a bit dirty, let me know what you guys think. sorry but the car is as dirty as it's ever been. I was forced to drive it this week. and you can see my 97 SS covered in show. I'd like to put it in the garage but i'd have nowhere to work on my 91 vert

the wheels are 20x8.5 with 255/35zr20's

I suppose if that's your sort of thing congrats on your new wheels. Personally I think anything over 17" looks rediculous on f-bodys, but it's not my car. The only opinion that really counts is your own.

If you like it that's cool, imo, 20's are too big on a 3rd gen..

I actually think that doesnt look too bad. I would usually say 18's 19's maxx. but that rim actually looks good.

Should deff be a head turner when painted.

What color are you going?

The few thirdgens I have seen before with 20s didn't look right - but I think yours look cool as hell with them. Is it decent to drive too, being as low as that, or is it on air rides or something?
How wide are the rims and tires?

I diggggggg it!!!!!
Usually people go with flashy chrome 20's which dont seem to fit well on the monocolored 3rd gens. These wheels are probably one of the best looking wheels I have seen on a Camaro!!!!
Congrats
