Default 22's?

I've been looking at some of the vipers with 20 inch wheels and have noticed that there is still some room in the back for a bigger wheel. Has anyone ever done a 21 or 22 inch wheel in the back and 20 up front?

HAHA Understandable.

I guess I could ask my next question... If I order a 20x13. What offset should I get?

19x10 offset for the front?

Go with stock offsets only! I have seen 22 inch wheels on a Viper and it looks WRONG! I would say not to go higher than 20 and realistically 19 should be highest.

I was looking at Gary Javo's old b/w gts. It had a 19/20 combo but it didnt seem like the offset was aggressive enough, more so in the front.

What would the stock offset's be for say the gen 3 wheels?

Even though I really do enjoy the iforged line, I'm the kind o fguy that likes to step outside the box when it comes to modifying my vehicles.

I have a very special set of wheels in mind...

20x13 rears
19x10/11? fronts

it is a bad idea to use staggered diameter wheels on Gen 1 or 2 Vipers as it will have an adverse effect on handling

22's...really.
I personally think 18/18 or 18/19 & lowered look best. 20s just look like your trying to hard.

I think 18's look stock.

19's look good, but I just don't think they fill the wheel wells enough.

20's to me seem perfect, and if you consider 20's trying to hard I guess you could put owning a viper in general in the same category. But to each his own.

I never said I wanted 22's, was just curious.
