There's a guy on this forum with 20" Boyd Coddington Smoothies on his black GT and they look great. Maybe he'll chime in.

I've got 20" on mine (dealer added-not an option). The ride is pretty good but you will feel every bump on the road. It handles quite well though and they fill the wheel wells. I'm selling mine and getting some 18" since I didn't really want them. If I could figure out how to post a pic I would.

Sorry, but once again, the size of the wheel has absolutely nothing to do with filling the wheel wells.

I've got 20's. The first thing I wondered was, how much tire would be left. I have a pretty meaty tire and I am happy with it. You do feels bumps more, but again go with a meaty tire, not toooooo low profile. The corning is off the hook, BIG difference.

That is a pretty good deal, but I think I have you beat.

$1600.00, chrome, mounted and balanced, oh yeah.... brand new baby.

GFGs are usually around $1,500 to $1,800 per wheel w/o tires in the 20" range.

I meant it "looks" like it fills the wheel well more. There's more wheel there with 20's.

I got my 20's from O.E wheels direct. I know the guy there pretty good. If you are interested I may be able to talk to hm for a deal.
Check the site.
www.oewheelsdirect.com

My rims are not on the web site. They where on an OE Wheel advertisement in 5.0 Mustangs. When I saw them, I had to get them. They are HOT and I get nothing but compliments. They are called Accelerators.

I was suppose to get Hancock tires, but got some of those japanese name tire, starts with an F, can't remember at the moment. They are good and I love the amount of tire that I have.

PM me if you are interested and check the website out.
