ps I do not suort putting 20s all around on any pre 05 mustang It is very ghetto. The raked wheel does look sick however, that is why I suggest it

you wouldnt say that if you ever saw PJ's old classic coupe with TT IIs
He ran a 17 up front and 20 rear with a perfect drop. It was beautiful.

Rim size is simple..99-04 the 18" looks the best. If your 05+ then 18 is the minimum and 20 is the max. Saleens with their 20" rims look rather decent. 17' is just too small for either especially 05+ 20 on a 99-04 is ghetto..dont care who says what-Shane

If you have to put 35's on your car to use the rim..the rims toooo BIG...."here's your sign" HA HA...Good height tire is a 40 or 45 which gives your some meat but doesnt look 4 by 4. 285 295 for width is a good average tire for the rear as well and 315 is on the SICK side. I'm fond of 18" on 99 present-Shane

I dont see the issue with having a set of street tires (18's, 19's, 20's, etc) and having a separate set of track tires if you race it. I think 20's look awesome on any mustang AS LONG AS YOU DO IT RIGHT.

The mustang was built with performance AND style in mind, why not accentuation the style part and swap wheels and tires for performance applications?

I did say "AS LONG AS YOU DO IT RIGHT"... not ricer style.

I agree with you, both of those cars look terrible, but are you saying this looks bad?




Keep in mind, this is the same car on track...

I couldnt agree more. it is not rated a sports car so why lable it a slow cruzer that looks like somthing off pimp my ride. big old rims and little bity tires are nasty on mustangs.
