IMO, 20's are too big. 18's is what I would stick with.

huge diference i know .i'm really leaning towards the 18's all the way around only reason i was even thinking about the 20's is to fill up the wheelwell with a 345 they are a lil taller than a 335 just isn't tall enough

Use the 18's.
20's are heavier and more expensive.
There is no performance advantage to using 20's.

Agreed...your car,your decision.
I love the look of a staggered set up and one inch is perfect so consider 19s on the back as there's a ton of 325-345mm tire offerings because of all the supercars that run them.

I agree, its all what appeals to you. But others opinions also help to weed out some issues.
For me 20 is alright on the camaro, it has a "fat looking" rear so a tall wheel doesnt look outta place. But, dont forget to check the commonly available sidewall heights for your front and the back tire. I think too much of an offset in sidewall section heights looks a lil off, too seventies for me.
If after searching you find more tires in a 19" that will be just a touch thicker in the sidewall height than your front tire choice that may work better. And you dont wanna go backwards and put a thinner sidewall in the rear with a 20" wheel, that looks even worse IMO.
All Im saying is check the available sidewalls too. You dont want to be stuck with only one tire in the size that suits your look just to have it get discontinued. JR

We mount 275s on 18x9s all day long, you should be fine, but are you running a stock front subframe?

I've got 18x10s w/275/40s, 6inch backspacing was ok 'till I went to the 12-bolt which was 1 inch shorter and had to add 1/2 inch spacers and longer studs just to center the things in the fenderwell again. I rolled the lips and the sidewalls only rub a little on the insides on a high lift of one end of the axle. The rear Hotchkis bar helps alot. I tried 19's and I agree they are just too much trouble and the tires are much more expensive. My fronts are 17x8's for a little rake. I've seen 18's all around and it looks like the car is going uphill, I think it's the shape of the fenders or something...might look better on a Camaro though.
