325/30/19 -vs- 345/25/20 photo side-by-side comparison

When I was contemplating changing my wheels/tires I searched for an explicit side by side comparison but could not find one that was useful. Since I had changed my wheel set-up, there have been many folks asking about the size difference between the two and if I had a picture of both in comparison. I usually take a lot of pics so here they are for those that want to know...

Great comparison!

For me, your car serves as the poster child for swapping out black wheels. Your new profile/wheels looks so much better. The car just pops now!

Nice comparison and those silver wheels look great. Much better on your car than the black ones IMO.

Everybody tells me how big my 325 are and all I do is pine for
345's. Gee they don't seem to be as big as I thought.

Looks awesome, love your car. Every time I see pictures it just makes me grow impatient. I want to put my C5R lip and skirts on now but the car is in storage!

Guess I'm the lone gun who likes the 19" wheels better. Did 19/20 combo with my last C5. Outside of a ZR1, never again.

Thanks man, the wheels are by Sport Muscle but they discontinued this style. There were not too many of these fitted on C5's due to the fact that they were primarily the C6Z06 offsets.
