Much better pic, dude, paint those cals red or yellow ! yellow would make the black pop out more and off set the red.

I'm sorry for seeming like a copy cat here but I was gonna get the 007's and plastidip them matte black but now see what I want. If anything thank you for the right inspiration. I'm gonna order the 18x8's and run the BFGOODRICH G-FORCE T/A KDW 235/50/18 tires most likely. I do wanna drop it 1-1.5" on all 4's and tint as dark as I can go. Again thanks for pointing my eyes in the direction everyone else's will b in also.

And 18s are fine too, the ride is sexy compared to bigger rims .

Take a look here at the last post pics I posted

https://montecarloforum.com/forum/ti...im-size-45111/ the white one was my old 06 LS, and the black one is my new 07 SS.

Not necessarily true. You may have rubbing lowered depending on the shape of the tire sidewall.

X2. 20's can give you problems as well. Depends on the width of the wheel and sidewall of the tire more than anything. Start going wider than an 8 and you run the risk of rubbing in the rear.

Yep, like Matt said anything wider than an 8 inch rim you may have an issue when it comes to 20 inch wheels.

My old tires I had no rubbing issues, but with my new tires, the shape of the sidewall was different and I began having a little problem. Nothing serious but a little rub here and there on dips in the road and such.

I corrected the issue with a camber kit and an alignment of course.

Good luck
