20 inch rims on a 2002 GT


Hey guys. I'm wondering would I have any clearance problems or need any other modifications to put on a set of 20 inch bullits? Aslo does anyone have any pics they can share? It would be greatly appreciated.

+1 I'm not a fan of 20's on a stang. But to each his own.

it seems to me like bigger rims look better on the new body style. on the new edge and older mustangs, they just don't look right. i think it's because the new stangs are bigger, for lack of a better word. i've seen lots of pics of s197's with big rims and, while it's not my thing, they look ok. not on new edge stangs though.

20'' wheels don't look bad at all on the 05 and up mustangs, but they look horrid on all earlier mustangs.

yes that will be much better! 20's+Mustang= put those 18's on there and then lower it a little bit and that will take care of that gap in the fender well.

Don't get 20's, you would look ridiculous. Stick to 17", or 18" rims.

Go 17"s if your a bit more into a lower cost and much wider tire selection for yourself. 18" are nice too, but I found the jump from 17" to 18" to start to really limit my tire selection. I'd go 18" if you have some sort of body kit on it and your going for that low sleek look. Go 17" and drop it, you'll fill the fender gap and it'll look really tough.

That and once you start going over 18" your looking at little teeny-tiny rubber band tires that are expensive as hell and your sure to damage everything on the next tiny pothole you find.

Actually there about the same price. 18's and 20's are pretty much the same.
