Re: Time to order wheels! 18's or 20's??
I agree that the original 16.5's are cool. But, its just too dang hard to find a decent selection of tires. I like the fat back tire look- I have a drag car that sits on 29.5 x13" slicks.. I'm torn between filling the wheel well and having a gap.
A 20 x 11 with a 295/45/20 will give me 5 1/4" of sidewall and an 11 1/2" wide contact patch. A 18 x 9 with a 275/55/18 will give me 6" of sidewall and a 10 3/4" wide contact patch. I think the Del Rays are about as close to factory as I can find- mind you these are 8 lug wheels... not a huge selection.
