I'm not sure about lime green, but green stripes would look different but nice.
I would never put 20" on a first gen Camaro, or any car for that matter.

I think it would look silly. Too big. Color seems cool. Tires too big.

If you have a black '69, go with either white or yellow stripes. Green just seems strange for a Camaro... any car for that matter.
As far as the 20" rims go... why? Why would you put that size of rims on an old school muscle? Just looks wrong. Stick with either 17" or 18". Get your new school rims or whatever you want to call them, but don't go over 18"...

LIME green?! Is the interior lime green as well? I would never put lime green on any car. There are some nice looking greens out there, but I don't know if it would do your car much justice. I had a dark green firebird ('95) and put some black stripes on it. I thought it looked real good.
As far as the wheels, I have to agree with the previous posts. 17 - 18" would be the max. I would probably stop at 17". You can't get wide enough tires on there to make the ratio look good. It's also a waste of money.

The only muscle car, well car in general, that I've seen that could pull off lime green and black were the old Cuda's. I think it was the 71 or so that looked the best with it.

Wheel selection has alot to do with what your going to do with the car. If your going for looks alone with proper offset and tire size your car will look great. If your going to road race or drag theyre too big not enough tire side wall to perform. Theres a few first gen camaros out there with 20's and to me they look good. Now about the stripes I dont know about the lime green if it has to be green I'd go with a darker metallic green or dark candy.

i think a deep metallic green would look good if you have all black interior with a green stitch. and if you want it to look mean lower 2 inches 17s in the front 18s in the back ant tint the windows really dark
