This. The car sits well with the 19's. But I don't like grey/black rims. But that's a whole new can of worms.

Looks absolutely bloody stupid , but then again usually the kind of people who would do it would most probably have already butchered the car anyway .

This is for all the people that think its old school 14's or nothing. The world would be a very dull place if we all did the same thing.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVygqjyS4CA

My last XY Fairmont had Simmons B 45 with grey argent centers 16 x8 front and 16x9 rear with 225 and245 50 series tyres I don't like the big 20 inch look 17 is maximum and besides the car wasn't made by ford to ride on such big wheels the suspension can't compensate for the lack of sidewall that normally Cushions the ride , it just shakes your car to death IMO

Its my biggest gripe with new styled old school cars. Big ugly chrome wheels that look like they belong on a matchbox car.
![]() My misses shows me some pictures from car shows and what not....my response is always....nice car, terrible wheels.

Overall Tyre diameter is only 1mm different on the rear and 15mm smaller on the front. PS: That Camaro looks stupid.
