I have had a GTO for about a year now and have always been interested in buying a set of wheels for it. I looked into getting 20" wheels for it and had mixed reviews. Strut problems, inner fender rolling, offsets, etc. I finally did it and here's what it looks like. I got a 35 mm offset with 20x8 Cabo wheels. I put 245/35/20 pirelli P-Zero's tires on em too. I am satisfied with what they look like and how it drives, but there are a few things you need to know if you want to go this big. The front strut is fine with this offset, the rear howerver needs to be rolled in about 3/4" to clear the outside of the tire. Don't learn this the hard way by having the fender cut into your tires in a mile or less. The car drives fine, the front turns all the way either direction under normal driving conditions. The rear is now free to travel the stock distance but I went ahead and put some rubber stoppers you can get at a local autozone in the rear shocks to limit the travel and stiffen up the rear for added security. I live in the middle of Illinois and the roads aren't the greatest. I will occassionally rub the front on a big bump, but it only hits the inside top of the fender slightly and has not shown any damage to either the tire or the fender. If anyone else has any questions about putting 20's on their GTO let me know and I hope I can help, I went through 2 weeks of stress getting it right, but I couldn't be happier, the good comments keep coming.
