Default 20" Wheels on UCF10

Hello, i am currently looking to buy new wheels. My preference is 19" but its hard to find a used set.
Now, i might consider some 20's, but i need a variety of pictures before i can decide.
My car is kitted and on air suspension, so it wont be stockbody.

Anyways, what im asking is for some pictures of 20's on a first gen LS. I have already searched the forum, but i'd like to see if theres anymore pics out there.

thanks guys.

second stickied thread at the top of the forum.

generally, 20s look too big on the 1LS unless it's fully kitted.

20s look good, whether they look to big or not is a matter of opinion.
19's are fine also, finding tires may be a pain though.

Visit Cardomain, theres plenty on twenties there.

I have 20's on my car. After i lowered it and rolled the fenders it still rubs and it still looks like it sits high but it doesnt scrape anywhere. If you want to see how it looks like you could find my thread.

I had 19's on my 93.



Got tired of looking for 19" tires so I stepped up to 20's.





I like the way the 20's completely fill the wheel wells , top, front and back. The 20's will prevent me from lowering my car more but that's not my thing anyway. The tanabe's I'm running are fine.

19's do look good. There are a variety FS in the wheels section:

I've been debating 19's for a spell though rubber for 20's is a bit easier on the wallet. This 1-LS on 19's.

Go with 18's. 19's if you are kitted and on air. 20's are way too big.

This is a good suggestion and 18's have a reasonable look on the 1-LS. Rubber is also reasonable as far this size goes.

Yea, i currently run 18's. I am kitted and on air. I really want 19's, and i was about to order SSR Viennas until i found out SSR just discontinued them.

The reason i might opt for 20's is because of the rubber prices.

Since the Viennas are gone now, i am considering SSR Zweels.

To the members who feel 20s are to big. Are they too big cosmetically, or in the sense that they would put too much stress on the car being far from stock size?

aesthetically they're too big.

that and for the '89-92 you have to run super thin tires to get the right OD.

The reason why you want to keep the overall diameter the same is because that way it won't affect your speedometer as much.

The vienna's are not out of production. It depends on vienna you actually want. But I will say that most of the vienna's, schwerts, varrianzas ect (wheels in the 3k or less range) dont really have any awesome vip style face designs currently. The vienna rossetti's were sick, so were the Work Euroline SL's.
