    im not sure what size they are, but they DO look bigger than 18's oops it if they are that big it must be "DONKED".....and just to throw a hit back at the people blah blah blah 20in rims on a chevelle is different wouldnt look right on a smaller car blah blah blah.....well here they are on a old vette and they look pretty darn good on a small car to me, maybe cuz its a chevy :hmmm: and once again if they raise the car up, i will make the car come back down.....i have no problem chopping the car up :idea:

    Seriously though, I'm more the 17 inch max crowd, but if you can stuff 20's on your Mav without it looking like a clown car (ie: that "Donk" B.S.), go for it! And best of luck.

    Haha! See how much they had to modify a Maverick to make it have 20" rims! It's like a completely different car now!

    Blasphemy.

    The Vette is hot. I like that a lot but it looks like the front would scrub bad.
    Donked cars are ridiculous and silly.
    Does anyone remember the reverse offset 12" wire rims that stuck out like a half a foot on all four corners? They were usually installed on Civic CRXs and similar sh*t boxes. I hated that look.

    Megadittoes. I have never liked Cragar SSs, not when they were new, not when they became stale and not during their revival. Torq Thrusts FTW!!!

    I don't like those wheels on the vette...Something looks wrong on the back end. Height, width of the tire, something, I just cannot put my finger on it...

    As for the rub on mine, it is on the fender, so a rolled lip would fix that.

    I fixed it the hard way...with Cal-Tracs(y)

    Torq Thrusts are sweet but Cragars are made of win and awesome.

    well finally got em in and got em mounted.....so here are pics of my car that some have said no matter what it will look "donked" well in my opinion it looks GREAT and i could not be more happy with them. the ONLY other thing i have to do is put some air shocks on the back. there is NO scrubbing except in the rear and thats when i hit a bump pretty hard, so im gonna raise the rear up and little and firm it up in the back.
