Ferrari - 18" up to 20"
Lamborghini - 18" and 19"

"Bruce's info, if correct, is 20-30+ years old. And he's one person, not a great sample size. There are plenty of racers, using smaller lighter wheels and tires on factory-limited fenders."

... too funny, 20-30 years old? "factory-limited fenders" = I'm stuck using small wheels lol.
Before you bash other people about logic...

The cars you talk about are latest models - not replica of a 1966 car... go put 20" on a ferrari gto 250 or 1963 stingray

I have 17" halibrand style on my Backdraft (born with it due to brakes) but love the look of the 15" billboard tires... I have seen 18" and it just change the looks too much.

How many "classic cars" race with 20" wheels... none!

but hey.... you go put 21" tesla wheels on you lifted "cobra"" - I'm sure a few 16 years old boys in Harlem will love it...
