Thanks chris,

looking at that setup, i think i might go 20" rear and 19" front, or 19" rear and 18 " front........decisions, decisions????

boss 338 only comes in 18, 20, and 22. no 19" to speak of.

I currently have 18 front and 20 rear. The size difference looks goofy. I'll be putting 18s on the rear too. The large rim size differential also makes it difficult to get the sidewall sizes anywhere near close without having a 1-2" difference in overall tire height.

Im not a fan of 20/18 combo either. i think im going with 18x8 front with a 245/45/18 and rear 18x91/2 with 295/45/18.

I almost bought a set for my Chevelle this past spring that's why I knew where the thread was.

I have the gun metal 338s on my 68 Camaro and I love them. I know this isn't what you're looking for but if you are wondering from experience, they look really good.

Thanks jim,

your chevelle looks great, i like how the tires fill out the wheel wells. i was also wondering how the grey centers would look against red. im going to paint my elco victory red. thanks again!
