Default Wheel Sizes..

Anybody running 18 up front and 20 on the rear.. and have photos?

Been a while since I splurged a bit on my car and thought Id upgrade my rear CCW SP500's (18x11.5) and step up to 20's out back.

I know most folks go with 19/20 combo... but I got 18's.. and Im cheap.. lol

I haven't went with an 18/20 combo on one of my Corvettes yet but have done so, on a number of hotrods I've built. You would think you would really notice the wheel stagger a lot more but in reality, you just don't.
I built this '70 El Camino restomod with an 18/20 combo and went with 18x9 fronts and 20x10 rears. Tires were 265/35/18 fronts and 305/30/20 rears.

Actually, more people upgrade to an 18/19 combo. Your problem then would be finding a pair of 19" rear SP500's since CCW has discontinued their SP lineup.
