hate it.
looks nothing like a muscle car
looks ghetto
all show, no go.
will make the ride very uncomfortable
will make the car harder to steer
will make the car slower
will make the car get unwanted attention.

but you are not looking for opinions, you have obviously made up your mind

and i respectfully disagree ODDYSEY. BTW i think your "Razors - 18x9" are an absolutely PERFECT match!

Moneyshot - Thanks, I spent a lot of time researching rim/tires combos.

fox.josh - The only way I could see 20/22 combo working well would be to get a larger tire on the rear... I like this setup a lot but it is like a 20/20 combo with bigger tire on rear I think...

By having larger rims, isn't there a greater risk of damage from pot holes and such? I have 17" on mine but I don't think I would go over 18".
Not only that, but doesn't it add more weight to the car?

It does increase your risk of damaging your rim, the larger the rim, the thinner the tire. It is a big misconception people have.. they think by getting 20" rims (or higher) it will fill the wheel well more, when in fact the rim size has nothing to do with it.

Example...(this is just an example, real world numbers are different)

18" rim + standard tire size = 27" diameter

20" rim + standard tire size = 27" diameter

By increasing your tire size to make it look better, you start changing your gear ratio, and that requires a custom tune to fix (shifting points etc)

And you aren't accounting for tire rub, etc.

But you could still get a bigger rim and then a bigger tire if that was the look you were going for. But like odyssey said you would need a tuner to make it work. So it can be done, but its more conventional to keep the actual wheel set up the same size regardless of rim size.
