Guys i bought my car completely stock and the first thing I did was put some 20's on immediately.

I have done no mods or fender rolling and the fit is just fine---no rubbing-scraping-or any of that.

Been about a year now.

18's performance
19's looks/performance
20's looks

Usually the bigger the wheel/tire combo, the more stress you put on your suspension and engine.

Trust me, I had 18's on my sc, then 20's and finally 19's.
On my truck i started with 20's, then 24's and now i have 22's

The right 20's look great even on a 97 kit, as far as fit, the right offset will fix that too. I ran 20's on a 97 kit and dropped hard, it looked great. More important is the style and offset, Some 20's look like crap on our cars while others just flow smooth.

Wheel diameter is not the answer for rubbing issues, please research offset.
i agree with this statement....

Wow! You fit 305's pm the rear? Does it rub and did you have to do anything besides shaving the fenders to get them to fit?

Yes, the inner lip on the rear quarter was shaved for fitment.
