20" Rim question....

Slicey · February 14th, 2007, 04:18 PM

Can i fit 20 inch rims on my 99gt? I went to a tire store and they said NO!! But i heard of others puten 20's on....

I don't have any suspension work done. its completely stock..

BS man you can totally fit 20" on. You want to do the max drop that you can on your mustang. A full two or three inches if you can due to the extra hight. i run 18" with 2" drop. Try some coil overs so you can control the drop yourself.

Here is a pic of a 2002 GT with 20" and Kalimari kit.

why would u want 20,s on a mustang??? i allways thought that 20's should only be on big sedans or trucks

you will be surprised I have seen some pretty nice stangs with 20" rims. but, the stangs I see are commonly mistaken for all show no go. But, I can assure you the ones I have seen go, and go damn fast to have 20" rims on them.

If you get 20" wheels, which will look badass by the way, you should make gears your next mod to take up some of the loss you have in acceleration.

Sweet Thanks. I figured as much so i went to leschwab when i got off work and they said hells ya you can. F*ck discount.
I run 18" on stock springs now. Im dropen it 1.75" or 2" cant decide what looks best yet. If i go 20" then ill check that 3" drop out

I hear Coil Covers are a bad idea though. I wouldent know. I've never used em.

Just know that you will get better load balancing with seperate S/S and lowering springs, but 80% of all drivers never notice the difference. Coilovers offer more adjust ability.

Unless you run hard on the track, not the strip, you would never know the difference, but with 20" wheels coilovers will solve the drop limintations from std. springs and provide excellent suspension strength.

Call BRENSPEED and ask them as well and what suspension they would recommend with a 20" wheel.

WEIGHT: Check the wheel weight when you buy 20' most people won't notice and as tire weight is the biggie, not your wheel, you are really at a stalemate.

Discount Tire kinda sucks IMO. I went there 2 days ago to get a quote on some 18" chrome Saleens w/ tires. They said it would be around $1800. I got on the American Muscle website and found 18" Saleens with tires for $1300, free mounting/balancing/shipping. Same wheel, same tire, $500 difference. A-holes.

Slicey · March 7th, 2007, 04:19 PM

i went to a different discount a couple of weeks ago and got a bid on 2 18'x9's and 2 18x10 saleens, all with tires. 1200 bucks with warentee and free ballence and rotation.
they have the best deals for a dealer iv'e seen.

my "F discount" comment is taken back lol.
