Default 20" alloys front and back ?

Going to look at buying a car tomorrow to buy with 20" rims front and rear not sure why you would do this , he still has original Z51 rims so no problem but what are the effects of running 20's all round , he said he wanted to fill gap at front but just seems to create a bigger space at the rear ?
Maybe I could fit slightly higher profile rear tyres ?
Opinions , thoughts please ???

As long as they don't rub, there is probably no issue. I would imagine those wheels and tires cost lots of pounds over there. Most people in the US buy Verona wheels (what brand they appear to be from pix) in sizes to fit their existing tires. If you buy it, you need to pick up a set of black emblems to go with the black mirrors and spoiler.

Bet it will be fun driving a left hand drive car in UK! I've done it in the Bahamas, but the speeds were like 45 mph max.

Thanks Bob , will be fun , I have never seen another on the road over here , and yes they are Verona rims :-) i might try 35 profile rear tyres if it looks too odd in the flesh , I think he said the wheels were 1 inch wider all round to fill the arches :-)
