It is not your place to judge what he likes on his car. I think 17s look like shit on a stang because the the wheel wells are so huge. Its not the size of the wheel that makes it look bad its the type of wheel, some big chrome babymoon lookin wheels are a waste.

Do what you like to your car you have to drive it, dont do stuff to you car just because someone else says its cool or they like it. you can prolly fit 20x10 out back with a 35 series tire, but you cant lower the car any.

that's true, to each their own, but 98% of the people on this forum would say that it just isn't right unless it's on a 2005+. and if you're looking to drop the car then 20s would be a no no. and dropping the car is what really makes 17s and 18s look great.

^^ so we arent allowed to give this guy our honest opinions? thats the whole point of this forum man. if he didnt want advce and opinions then he wouldnt be posting.

20's are rediculous on a mustang man. its just gonna slow ur car down and ur gonna look completely stupid with those thngs.

KentuckyStang · January 19th, 2008, 02:03 PM

thats not the point, he asked what size would work. i would agree that some fancy sparkly wheels is not the way to go, some good lookin 20 inch five spoke or some bullitts look fine. 94-98 looks like its ready to go four wheeling right from the factory, feeling the wheel well with a good looking wheel looks better then feeling it with a bunch of rubber. i dont want to be ridin around looking like i'm riding on inner tubes. if we didnt do different stuff to are cars than everone would drive the samething.

you dont tell someone's opinion is gay. some people didnt my a mustang to go fast, somepeople like the way they look.

20*10s with low profiles should fit... your speedo will be off if the proper side wall isn't used...

as far as rubbing though if you have stock springs on everything should tuck nicely

RandoGT · January 19th, 2008, 05:45 PM

i didn't say no one was entitle to their own opinion. that's one of the things i strongly believe in. i have my own opinions and have been criticized for them before but that doesn't bother me cause i don't want to follow the crowd and think on my own.

everyone is different and likes different things, i was just stating my humble opinion like everyone else is

06RedfireGT · January 19th, 2008, 09:24 PM

If you have your heart set on 20s, then yes, they should fit.

But IMO 20s look like shit on anything but the 2005+ Stangs. I would just go with some nice 18s all around.

Well i have a 98 with 20's and Eibach sportline springs and i havent had any problems
