Groovyjay, has them on his car. They look damned good. I always thought 20's were too big for a C3 until I saw his car. Do a search on archived topics with groovyjay as the creator. You should find what you're looking for.

I have 20" all around on my 79. It rides well. With the quick ratio rack n pinion and VB&P Perf. + suspesion it's perfect for some real driving. It's not the most comfortable combination around the town though 
I'm using 20x8 in front with 4" backspacing and 20x10 in the back with 5.5" backspacing. I'm also using offset trailing arms at the back.

They look good on black cars, but imo, the low profile tires look funny on a different color car. Just my $.02. Also, i've never seen dubs on a C3 in person either.
