came across the attached pictures some time ago and really like the look. I remember I found the pics on CL the car was for sale there. I know the pics are very blurry... however I'm not sure who's car it is and I'm trying to determine the rim / wheel size. looks like 20"? any thoughts or suggestions? thx in advance.

I just googled around and found this:

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3129772/1978-chevrolet-monte-carlo

"American Racing Thrust M, 20x10 rear and 20x8.5 front"

so I photoshoped one of his pics (lowered the car):

so now I really think the wheels in pic 1 & 2 are 20"

I'm lost... Am I to assume you don't know what size the wheels are on your own car?

no that pic of that black monte is also a photoshop. Its my rendering of my project what it should look like in the end. I always thought they look like 18" in there but now I think they're 20".

I also thought about the 18/20 combo. now I really think I want to get 18x8 fronts and 20x10 rears. but I think I'll get the Coys C5 because the 20x10 version got a deeper lip than the Boss 338.

here some other G-Bodys with the 18/20 combo:
