Default 350s on DUBS!!!!

I just got some 20" Volk GT-Cs, for my 350, tell me what you think. The white 350 is a good friend of mine, cant wait until Im as low as him!! Also, we know, both cars were dirty at this shoot...

20" GTCs are tight. Not feeling the PPW.

Wheels on the PPW are hideous. Your 20"s look a bit weird for some reason. I think the rear tires are too stretched..

What size wheels and tires? They definitely look too stretched. Keep in mind that because you are using a lower profile than we use for 19" wheels, a narrow tire looks even more stretched than usual.

Yea, its a 275/30/20 in the rear, the rim is 20x10.5 R and 20x9.5 F, I think a 285/30/20 would look a little better.

Definitely. No less than 285 on those GT-C's

How different is the ride on those 20's compared to your OEM's? I'm thinking about going 20 also but think the ride will be horrible, what do you think so far? BTW, I think they look sweet.

Ride is good, I would recommend them, was going with a set of 19s, but got these used, way cheaper then the 19s, why not get the extra inch.

Hate? Dude, your first statement was "I just got some 20" Volk GT-Cs, for my 350, tell me what you think. " You asked for opinions, what did you expect? Like every other mod, some people like, some don't.
