Default 20's?

Hey guys, now nothing is definite but i was looking at a set of rims and tires (a package) from tire rack and i wanted to know what you guys think. I have heard plenty of people say 20's are too big for a 350 and some people think that these specific rims are very flashy (not a good thing). I was wondering what your inputs would be on this.

Theres so many things you have to worry about when getting rims...offset, camber, tires, tire size, rim width, camber arms, toe bolts, suspension, fender rolling, and uhh...thats all I can think of at the moment.

Learn about those and then you will find your rim choices will ahve narrowed. Seeing as how you will have an understanding of what looks good on the Z.

I have seen 20"s done right though....but its not just the rims its ^^^^^

Hey what's going on man. In all due respect, please don't buy those wheels. We're all looking out for you when we say no; save your money and buy better wheels. Wheeldude.com has awesome wheel packages, go there instead.

To the O.P., just listen to what everyone else has said, and pick out a new wheel resign. There a few vendors that offer pretty good quality wheels for a good price. Maybe consider a 19" wheel, it will cost your cost down because of buying a smaller tire and obviously a smaller set of wheel. Good luck

The look of the wheel is an opinion, so I won't comment there.

The weight of those wheels is fact, and DAMN are they heavy. You WILL notice the sluggishness both because of it.
