crashnebula · July 2nd, 2007, 02:00 PM

whats the price on both sets and can you afford which ever is more expensive?

HMUSN · July 2nd, 2007, 02:08 PM

i would say go with the 17's.

tires are not cheap for 18's.

17's will look like 100% crap on an s-197

18-20's nothing smaller -

Bies08 · July 2nd, 2007, 07:57 PM

17s for performance

18s for daily driving

Thats what i've been told in the past atleast?

who told u that....

i can have 19" and still cut trough curbs... it will not hurt performance maybe a lil bit but u ain going to lose 5 h.p

the difference is the bigger the more mass needs to be move... can u lose seriour h.p or is it going to hurt?? not much..

BrentS16 · July 5th, 2007, 11:32 AM

Murderjetz · July 5th, 2007, 01:20 PM

17" is still better than stock 16"...

V6boi · July 5th, 2007, 02:02 PM

i havent read anyones elses post on this thread but , 17's you wont be disappointed seriosuly. Mine look awsome and there 17x9 and 17x10.5. and you'll save alot of money, but true its the gen. b4 yours so

El_Cangri · July 5th, 2007, 11:36 PM

ur gens looks better with 18-20"

SickSixer04 · July 6th, 2007, 01:09 AM

I have a 2004 and I just put 17's on it... I think they look great... My boyfriend has a 2005... I wouldn't put anything less then the 18's on his car... The 2005 and newer Stangs are a thick car... They need nice tough wheels to go with it... I say who cares about the cost of larger tires... It's the cost of cool... Remember that.
