Tire size

Hey I just joined your community and just got my first mustang. I ordered some 20's for it was wandering if I went with a 245/35/20 up front and a 255/35/20 in the rear if I would get the staggered look,oh yea the rear rim width is 9.5 and the front is 8.5.Any info will be appreciated

My two cents - what you suggest is too narrow. You may go 255 front, and 285 rear. The look and performance will be best, IMO. Consult a good tire store for the best aspect ratios to go with that (30, 35, or 40).

Ok thanks man I have a buddy with a 2000 cobra he is running 245/35/20s all around but since he's not staggered out on his I was just curious if going with those sizes would give that appearance

I would also go 255 in the front and 285 in the rear for that setup. I have 255's on all 4 corners of my Bullitt. I would run a bigger rear tire, but the rims are only 8.5" wide.

A 2000 Cobra with 245/35/20s on it? I'd like to see pics of that.

For your car and wheels I agree with everyone else 255s and 285s. With that little difference in tread width I'd keep the same profile ratio so the back wheels would be slightly taller and have slightly more sidewall.
