The consequence of higher belt lines designed to work with ever larger diameter wheels and the need to keep overall all height low so that todays Mustang and Camaro don't have roofs that tower over your typical minivan.

Wheels getting Bigger and Bigger is not really a good thing. Some of the reviews between the customised Camaro's and Mustang's ( ie Roush, saleen type cars) the Larger Camaro wheel has been sighted as harder to handle.

That doesn't justify it as far as I'm concerned. When will it end? When we have gun port-like slits to peek out of?

My 2002 GT Premium had 17s and it looked great and handled well. I have seen SN95 with 18s that look good. but 20?,21?24? When will it end and for what purpose????? Yes they need to build cars people like but they also need to build cars that are engineered properly and I think these Gigantic wheels look stupid and from what I understand become detrimental to handling, control and Ride quality.

^ here's a good read on the effects of increased wheel size.
Seemingly- Bigger allows for better braking and more g's. Smaller, quicker times, better mpg, cheaper tires (maintenance)
But really a lot comes down to how much they weight... The current Brembo wheel and tire weight 54lbs.... Chubby.

BUILD IT!!! BUILD IT NOW!!!!
If its not 'Mustang' enough... then i say slap a Lincoln badge on it, throw a proper IRS on it, throw some myfordtouch in it, give it 500+ hp, line the interior in some premium fabrics... and put it head to head with the CTS-V--- this thing is too hott to not see a production line, whatever they end up calling it.

Just saw the Pics of the 2013 and BLAH! they put the GT 500 Nose on it. I could never really get into that front end. Not the best move in my book.
