Help PLEASE!!!

Ok so I have been doing some calculations for some new wheels for my typhoon. I need some serious help PLEASE. So the stock setup is as follows:

Front: 16 x 8 with 41mm offset
Rear: 16 x 8 with 13 mm offset

The rims I am thinking of purchasing:

Front: 20 x 8.5 with highest offset being 40mm, this would cause the wheel to be in 5mm and stick out 7mm
Rear: 20 x 10 with an offset of 38 causing the wheel to be 50mm in more than stock and stick out the same as factory.

I really don't think the 7mm sticking out is going to be a big deal, but what about the rear going in 50mm, is it possible. If I can get this wheels as close as to flush with the fender the better. What do you guys think, besides the fact that the 20" wheels are going to look to big on there, :rotf:
Any information would be great!!!!

Guys I understand where you are coming from, but I want something different other than your typical Vette wheel on these trucks, I like to be different. So not much choice in the 18"-19" range. No help with the offset stuff huh?

I tried a set of 20's on once. Its not a bad look it really fills out that dead space in the wheel arches. I have 17's x 8 C5 vette rims all around. 1 inch adapters in back. Go to SyTyArchives.com its a wheel fitment section under how to's exterior.

It's understood that it's your truck, i.e. you can do whatever you want, etc... but please rethink the idea of putting 20" wheels on it. :2cents:

Re: Help PLEASE!!!

it's not about the mony dude also if you get an OEM ZR1 wheels will cost you more than the 20's
the i dea isn't it too much on a typhoon it will be heavy and as i have been told you it's too much for the AWD system
but i don't know it's up to you
now am waiting for the guy to take the ZR! replica from his C4
i don't know if this will help

Re: Help PLEASE!!!

20's look ridiculous on the Sy/Ty... just my opnion. I even think 19's are pushing it.

I run 19" C6 wheels, and they do rub when I turn sharp,keep that in mind.
