Awesome!! I meowed out and stuck with 40 series, and absolutely will not look back. Love em to death....Be careful with a back seat passenger....I actually bottomed out for the first time a few weeks back with the boy in the back seat....But the RR tracks were kinda viscous....

Not a big fan of the 20s and with the big tires the rake is even more then stock.

Could you get a shot of the wheels from behind the car?

I am really not a fan of 20's on these cars. The loss of traction and braking is not worth the 'look'

335/30/18s fit under the back of these cars without rubbing with the correct wheel.

Don't worry on it. Minor, one time occurance, with a back seat passenger, and nasty RR Tracks. I was travelling a bit too fast.....

yes its a one off look, you either like it or not those tires are truck tires mounted for fun, however i am considering selling my rims and tires might go down to 18 after seeing the thread here with cars and 18 anyone interested in some used 20 inch bullitts with 6 tires?

WOW, that tire is over 3 inches taller then stock. That’s why you had to swap the Pro kit. You could go with 295/30-20 and but the springs back on, but you’ll loose an inch in sidewall height.

New member of the "Monster Club".

Put me down as the newest member of the 20" Monster Club!

I couldn't be happier with the set-up.

Foose Nitrous 20" chrome - 295/40 and 255/40 - Toyo Proxes S/T's.

Kudos to Mike (Got Oatz), for helping answer my questions in the beginning.

(the V-6 is in the background is my son's, he got the "hand-me-down" 18" Cragars)

Looks good . So did you buy both stangs in Germany or were they shipped over?

Deric,

The Red one I special ordered in mid-Feb 05 and took delivery in Germany (Military Cars Sales) in May 05.

My son's V6 was already on the Military Car Sales lot on base in Germany and he bought it direct from them.
