I don't have a mustang with 20's so no need/room for me to comment but I will lol.
I never was a fan of larger wheels (20's/20's+) on mustangs.. the largest I would personally go is 18's or 19's. Most 20's do look disproportionate however I have seen some 'stangs with 20's pull them off, I wouldn't have guessed they were that large. I guess it depends on the look/design of them.
What I dont like about larger wheels is, even if you lower your mustang to fill the gap a larger wheel would give you, you can't fix the fact it jacked up your car from the ground cause of the overall diameter of the circumference. lol.
Yes, 20's wouldn't be smart performance wise, it's obviously for appearance.. some people DO throw some 17's on when going to the track etc.

Why don't you guys put on 22s? Or 30s? What IS the point?
I doubt 30s will fit. What IS your point?

You're talking about two different chassis between the 2003 and the 2005 and up S-197. Actually Ford engineers have said that a 19" wheel is optimum for the S-197 which is why most 2011's come with that for the performance options. AND, who cares what Porsche engineers say. They've been building cars that look the same for 40 years, and again that's a different chassis. What works for them won't necessarily work for a 'Stang

Woah there fella...

Maybe you should tone yourself down a little bit. You can state your opinion, and cite facts, but you don't have to be condescending or rude.

I actually agree with you as far as putting 20's on a mustang, but maybe you could have used a little more tact in expressing your opinion.


With that said, I think the wheels look very good.

Okay. I haven't done many mods lately, but I did notice the Shelby Razors are available in a 10" wide version now. I'm thinking about doing putting these on my car. Hold your 20" wheel comments to yourself, I like them. My question is I noticed the offset is listed on American Muscle as 30mm. I have the 24mm offset version on my car. How will the 30mm offset look on the rear?
