Theres a '99 on MustangWorld with 22s. Disgusting. Anything over 18" is just foul.

I think theirs a mustang somewhere with 24s or 26s with a couple inch lift actually....

But anything OVER an 18" rims is SAD -
a 20 is OK if your bagged, custom painted , show car status.....
pre 99 is almost IMPOSSIBLE to pull off a 20" rim

I'd be interested in seeing a picture of this sort of set up...sounds like it could look pretty badass....or just really retarded, it's hard to picture it in my head.

but yeah I agree with everyone though, 18 is really the biggest you should go with, I think 17" is perfect, maybe even 16" depending on what the rim looks like.

20s are not ok...can we say ASS...18-17 is the choice...then put 15-16s for drag wheels out back if needed and make up for the smaller rim size for some big ass slicks...thats watsup
