that's how I feel.

its better than puttin vette rims under them, because vette rim to a camaro is SI rims to a civic and i think that if you put something under that is nice and not alot of people have, is something that is a great thing.....

The stock overall diameter on f-bodies is approx. 25.7- the smallest tire that is a 20 that I could find-( I only looked briefly, I am sure there are others..) is a 245/40R20 which measures 27.7 in diamter. Its only an inch bigger all the way around so you might be able to squeeze them, but you would have to check with a tire shop first since when you buy rims and tires, once you mount them they are yours so make sure they fit.
