Angry AAAAA!!!!! rims sizes does it matter?!?!?!

Help!!!, I want chrome rims, but rim shops tell me to get 18s only, does anybody have 20s? I'm going to drop it 1.75, got the springs already but not installed yet... I'm thinking 20x8, maybe 20x8.5, is this a BAD mistake? Or would it just rub a little bit... I have collected quiet a bit of performance parts but not installed yet, just got the car and rather install all at once... but I'll put the rims(size?), n1 exhaust, springs, and lips on all at once... so please tell me, what size rims, if 20s, what size tires as well...

Thanx for the info people!!!

bright led exhaust tips,
intake made from a 2 liter Dr. Pepper Bottle (heard pesi bottles weren't as good),
fuzzy seats, hated the leather...,
Mustangs Decals on sides (Cobra Decals)
Type-Poopoo decal on back (customized myself...)
APC painted all over my car...(jellis huh?)

how getto do you want to look? Please tell me your signature is a joke and those aren't your mods!!!!
But to answer your questions, with a 1.75 in drop and 20's not only will you rub you may not be able to to turn the wheel all the way around. The tire will hit on the inside and the fender. 19's are already pushing it so forget about 20's!
OH PLEASE TELL ME THAT'S NOT REALLY YOUR MODS!!!!!!! I'm sure it's just a joke but you'd be surprised these days!

I've seen 20's on a couple of cars but like 'dragon says, you not only rub, you have to roll fenders and take other drastic measure to still have limited turning ability...19's push the envelope, but will work with some fender rolling. 18's definitely are fine with the right offset...
If you are trying for the straight ghetto look, get a '98 Impala...

are you joking with that signature??? I truly hope so, no TL should be subjected to that kind of hideous look. Dr. Pepper bottle for exhaust tips??? Ever heard of 3A racing? Pick up a set of those.

I think I saw his car at a show once. He showed me dynos of the pepsi-intake and they were clearly not as good as the dr pepper intake. Only a couple hp but still...

Dude I thought you were getting 22's? Why'd you change your mind?

No way could you get 50 hp from a 3 liter bottle intake. 45 hp max, and only if it's been properly ported and blueprinted.

why don't you do a search on pics with 18s, 19s, and 20s, (there are people on this board who have had all sizes of those rims); see what you like more, think of the comfort level of driving you want and money you want to spend.

if that shop only wants to put 18s on your car, i'd say go somewhere else. There are plenty of 19s that fit and a fair amount of 20s that do too...
