I kinda like the look without the fogs. I'm also shocked at just how good 20 inchers look on this car, Even the Blue ad car with the bonspeed deltas, it looked amazing!

Sorry, I think they're too big. They look like Escalade wheels. I don't want anything bigger than 18" on my Stangs.

Plus if you actually had tires that size on the rear, they would hit the fenders with every bump...

Too big for my taste.

Hmm...dunno. For an exhibition piece, they look good. For a road car, it's a bit "ghetto" for my taste. But it's nice to see fat tires... 255s front and 285s rear? I think 255s all round on 18" rims probably makes for a nice appearance and still allows for a less bumpy ride.

They look nice to me...love the way it sits.

The wheel wells on the 05 seem to be a lot bigger then the SN95's so I don't know if they would hit on every bump, but maybe if you're takin a high speed turn AND hit a bump then maybe. Aston Martins have 20s stock(well some of them) they don't seem to have a problem. I know the '05 probably has smaller wheel wells springs would take care of that...oh and the GT-R has 'em

I'm thinking about putting 19's in the back and 18's up front. That should look perfect.

Wouldn't these tire sizes throw the car speedometer/odometer off? I think they are to tall. Don't you think?

You can change the rim size as long as the over all outside tire diameter stays the same, but if you increase the tire diameter, then the tire circumfrance increases. Then you have to drive a further distance per tire revolution. This means that you will now be driving faster than what the speedometer thinks you are, since the speedometer only measures tire revolutions/time not actual distance/time.

Looks good, but I think 18" will be big enough for me. We will see once we actually have our cars in our driveways.
