I want to get some Boyd Coddington SMoothie II, but i cant decide between the 18 or 20's, those will be rapped around BFG KDW 2 t/a 255 in the front and 275's or 285's in the back, i just cant decide between 18 or 20. The car will be lowered with a eiback pro kit so it will look good. Can anyone help?


These are 20's look good right!

I saw a black GT yesterday on the freeway with those rims. He said they were 20's and they looked AWESOME. I'm not a fan of 20" rims, but after seeing those, I'd put them on my car in a heartbeat. Go with the 20's, I've seen them in person, they are just sick.

Go with the 20's for sure. They won't look so big because of the deap dish of the rim. I have 19's with a large deap dish and they don't look like 19's.

Yeah, they look real good! I'd have to see them in person before deciding to get 20s though. I don't want that ghetto look either, of course as long as you stay away from the spinning rims, you should be OK : )

20's will be fine! All of the Sema Cars except Pauls High Performance had 20's on thier rides and they looked real good. I hate the dubbed out, ghetto look that a lot of guys are talking about, but I think that the proportions of this car lend themselves to a larger wheel.

I'm going with these in 18X9 with 255/45/18 tires all the way around. Tried a 18X10 in the rear with a 295 and it stuck out of the fender well really bad. I think it needed more offset. The wheel was a +40, Probably needed to be a +50. Looked like a matchbox muscle car from the back, really hot from the side.

18x10 in the rear need a 45 offset, not smaller, not bigger. I have 18x10 on mine and they fit perfectly. 1/4" either way and they would rub.

I have these wheels and went for the 18's for the smoother ride vs. 20's. They look great to me, but I'm sure 20's would look awesome too.

Yea thats a nice look but this looks better with bigger size rims i mean not like 22 inch thuggged out. The smoothies in 20's do look reall nice and hopefully the eibach springs will helpo alittle in the ride department. As you can tell from the first pic i posted the car with the 20 inch smoothies looks really nice : ) and since there deep dish it looks even better.
