Might as well make them cast and super heavy as well to completely defeat the purpose too. Those wheels are so heavy you should tied boat anchors to all four corners!

They aren't bad, how much do yours weigh?

My wheels are MUCH lighter than yours. Your wheels are a heavy cast wheels. Mine are a lightweight forged aluminum wheel.

You can ask Jon, (Jucostud). When I was up at his store having the tires mounted on the wheels I took a picture of the stock 19 and the new 20 inch wheel with the 305's side by side before putting them in the back of the Magnum. The size difference was awesome. After I took the picture, I lifted the stock 19 to put it in car. Damn it was heavy. Then I went to pick up new wheel and nearly fell over backwards cuz it was so much lighter cuz I was prepared for it too be heavy too! lol.

What size wheels and offset are you running? Are your tires staggered? I found a good deal on some 20x10's in a wheel but that may be too wide for the front. I want to be able to rotate my tires...I put a lot of miles on my vehicles for work.

20x9 and 20x11.
I don't recall the offsets.

My fronts are 20x10 and rears are 20x11. Not sure the offsets as Forgeline has them fitted perfectly.

What size tires are you running? Your's looks great. Any modifications besides lowering that you had to do to make it all fit?

I've got 20x9/20x11 with a 305 tire with no body or fender modifications at all. The fenderwells on these cars come pre-rolled from the factory. They are really large, so you really need a larger wheel to properly fill the fenderwell to make it look right, in my opinion.

In 19's, you have limited wheel and tire selection which makes it difficult at times to find the look you are going for. 20's really are the only way to go because 18's are just too small and look like matchbox wheels on these big cars. lol.

Just curious.... but if you run a 305 all the way around... why did you do staggered wheels?

Just lowering it. If it isn't lowered with 20 x 11's you will scrape the bump stop due to width, otherwise nothing else had to be done.
