What Rims to get
I have a Black 02 GT that I'm getting ready to start building for show and performance. I want to go with some Foose rims but I don't know which ones will give me the best fit/ride/look for my ride. Foose Legend SS black and Stealth black only seem to come in 20" or Foose Nitrous black rims? Since, my base model 02 GT will be a project car, if there are any other suggestions anyone has as far as suspension goes for these tires or overall performance is concerned I'd greatly appreciate the advice

If it wwre me id either get black chrome or straight black saleen style rims. Theyre simple, clean and look perfect on the new edge stang. But to each his (or her) own preference. Just depends on your style

I personally have the black gt500 double spoke rims staggered with 9" and 10" widths on front and back respectively. With my sportline eibachs 2" drop they look absolutely amazing. Mines is an 02 black gt btw also.

This is the only pic I had on my cpu with gt500 rims. My car's in the garage with a broken intake manifold (yeah that cheapo stock plastic one) and I'm currently working on putting the Typhoon manifold. But anyways, don't wanna hijack a thread so here's the rims and drop. Sorry about the accidental Camaro pic!!

Blown 40th 4.6 - what are your dimensions for your rims/tires, do you get any significant rub in the front with the lowering kit? i was thinking about going with the 18X10.5 in the rear and 18X8, 9's in the front

The rear rims are 10.5 with a 275/35/20 which i want to go with a 305/35/20 nitto drag radials. The fronts are 8.5 with a 245/35/20 with no issues at all. I like the ride height,stance and the way she drives...i dont see what big issue with mustangs having 20 inch rims...i like mine
