I wanted to go with 20x10 rear 5.5 bs 305/35/20 20x8.5 front 4.75 bs 255/40/20 OR 18x9 front 5.0 bs 265/40/18. Stock ride height, I will be changing the rear gears later. Does anyone have photos of of 73-77's with 18/20 or 20's front/rear? I don't want the front to sit to high. Just got the paint done,now I'm stressing over wheels. Thanks

This is an 18" both front and rear. 18x8.5" 255/45/18 front, 18x10" 285/45/18 rear. I recently moved up to a 19x9.5 275/35/19 front, and 19x11 305/35/19 rear (no pictures). I don't recommend an 18/20 combo. I personally do not like the difference in diameters as far as how it looks. These cars have massive wheel openings, so a small sidewall is really going to look out of place. 20's just don't appeal to me on many older cars. That is just my opinion though. Maybe consider a 18/19 package or 19/20 if your really liking the 20's. These pictures are old. The car is much lower which does look better.

A 20"/20" combo with a low stance would look sweet.

I might go 20/20. I don't like staggered setups personally. Those cars can take a lot of tire, I think it would look good with a 20
