If you are going to be racing and tracking your car a lot...the 18's would make more sense.
However if you are just street/hwy cruising.....the 20's would be the way to go.
The wheel wells on these cars have so much space that in most cases the 20's will fit and look better for most wheels. Though some 18's.....depending on the design will look good as well. A good example would be the OEM chrome 18 inch bullitt style wheel.

Well, I went through the same debate. I wanted 19's, couldn't decide between 18's or 20's since there were next to no 19's back then. Spent a ton of time looking at pics here on TMS and made my decision:

Depends on how much you want to spend..
19" take offs from a 2010+ or 18" take offs from a 05-09 mustang look great plus you save money on tires. Its better because you have a decent size looking rim and meat on the tired to grip the road
IMO i love the way 20's look but if you live in an area where you can scrap them or mess them up then I wouldn't bother. Only if your going for looks I would get them.
but it is up too you... I bought gt500 rims and love them

I agree completely.
Mustangs are muscle cars and should have a tire with some beef and sidewall showing.
18's with a 255/45 or something similar will do the trick!
