19's will cost you more for tyres than 20's cause 20's are more common then 19's

and if you get 19's with a dish they look like 18's

True, but if you can't afford decent tyres then you shouldn't be buying the wheels in the first place. Then again, 225s fit on 16x7"s and will handle way better then on 20" and the tyres cost half the price... sometimes i wonder why people spend so much and end up with something technically worse.

If you want handling dont buy a commodore buy a import or something and due to imports mostly being a turbo a v6 commodore is a common choice for p platers and droping them on 20's is the way to go theses days and yeah its unsafe but how many time s have you herd of a 225 tyre on a 8.5 rim causing a crash or doing damage

Dont bother with a camber kit unless it really is cambering!
When you visually look at my rear wheels, its hardly cambering, so I'm not worried.

If it starts to wear unevenly over time then Ill just swap the two rear tyres over and then the other side will wear.

Its not worth forking out $600+ for a camber kit installed unless its really cambering bad.

1. Select 20" wheels

2. Select 245/30 tyres

3. Guards rolled

Enjoy.
