18's or 20's

i really want to put some rims on my 99 camaro but now i'm thinking on the size. I see alot of 18's but rarley any 20's i was just wondering if 20 inch rims take alot of fabrication to beable to bolt right on.

18's, I personally would want to go with 17's myself, but 18's will suit your car good.

do you have to do any thing for the 18's to fit proper or are they just direct bolt on.

lower pro tire and make sure they arent to wide... I dont have 18's, so i dont know if you would need spacers ect..I still have stock 16's.

18s look on late model F-bodies...I think 20s might be pushing it a little bit IMO

20's are for trucks (I have yet to see a car done that didn't get lifted with them) 18's look fine

18's will bolt on fine as long as you get ones designed for your car and not for a chrysler or something. Personnaly I wouldn't drive around in an f-body with 20's, the tires would be too low a profile and I'd worry way to much about bumps and potholes. And 20's look weird on 99% of the fbodies out there.

these rims say they fit a corvette, camaro or firebird with a bolt pattern of 5x4.75 or 5x120.65 so i'm guessing they should be a direct bolt on. or do i need spacers for 18's

The spacers only depend on the offset. So without knowing the offset of the wheels there is no way of knowing.

Do you have a link to the wheels you're talking about? I could help out more that way.
