The hood on the white camaro looks wicked.

As far as what folks have on their cars in the states, man, people just got stupid while I was in Germany. Would y'all believe you can buy spinner hub caps, and a lot of folks have them. I've also seen Chevy Avalance Z71's (a VERY capable 4WD) with friggin 22's under them. I guess I'm just not up to date with the current car scene. I'll stick with my 15x3's up frot and 15x8's with a 10 inch tire in the back. Old school maybe, but that definetly looks mean!!

I think if you take 19" (I would advice you to take 19 and not 20) then you definitely have to put a body kit on too, overwise it will look like a truck. If you dont see what I mean, I have some pix.

It will probably be 19", because of the price of 20"s!
Do you really think it will look like a truck? The radius of the wheels will almost be the same! So why should it look like a truck?

Besides, I got the Geiger lowering springs.

I'm not sure about body kits, some look ok. But a lot look just like cheap plastic stuff!
But again, as long as the wheels have the same diameter, the car should look ok!
But the Maros in the states often change the diameter of the wheels and that's what looks weird in my opinion!

personally, if it improves or does not have a negative effect, then it should not be a problem.

It all depends on your driving style and preferences, you can not always go with what others tell you, because it might not work for you...

and I would rather spend money on the engine first, then the wheels...

I prefer getting widest wheels possible that can get more rubber down, but that is just my opinion.

Yeah and she turns like a mofo now! Imagine had I gone 315's up front as well w/ the camber offset I have that would've been scary. Not to mention the steering ruts it'll posses w/ so much rubber up front.

Whatever size they are, they should be wide.
