New Wheels
So i got good deal on some 3 piece wheels.
. They are 20x8.5 and 20x10. I like them better then the stocks but the only thing i hate is the thin tire. Front is 245/30/20 the rear is 295/25/20. The front is ok but the rear tires can be a little bit bigger then /25/(tall). So does any one running 20's on their vette.how tall of a tire i can go without rubbing the inner walls.
Sorry the car is dirty...

I like the Black on Black. That's one sexy looking car to me.
I'm running a 285/30/20 on the rears and a 265/30/19 on the fronts. The way I look at it is this. You spent some good money on a 3 piece rim so do what ever you have to do to protect them. My front rim outer lip is bent a little and I have to send it back to Asanti. They told me to replace the outer lip and ship it back I'm looking at $600 a rim. I don't have that type of money to drop on every pot hole I can't miss. I don't see a problem with you going to a /30 if you need too. Your may be more jacked up in the rear but nothing some lowering bolts can't cure.
