I pulled into a parkinglot to go and get lunch the other day. A van pulls in next to me and the guy rolls down his window and complimented me on my car. We got to talking and I was telling him how I wanted to get a new set of rims. I was planning on going with a set of Diablo Lionhart 18s, he told me that it's possible to fit a set of 19s on my 90 GT. All I needed to do was get a smaller width rim. Is that possible? And does anyone have it done? He said he's seen guys who've had it done and it looked good. Anyone who can give me any info would be appreciated, thanx.

You can be different without making your car look asininely retarded by putting 19"+ rims on it. There are other rims out there in 17" and 18" that look good besides cobras.

IMO anything over 17" kills ride quality on a Fox body. When you shell out dough like that you want to be happy with your purchase. Too wide and the cars gonna start pullin' and pushin' on the ruts worn into the roads.....bad news.

No, because it just isn't tasteful to do that to a 5.0.

seriously... the only reason to use 18's is to clear those new roush brakes like on horespower TV. there are plenty of mustags that race on the road track with 17'' cobra r's and do just fine. but i'll stick with some draglites

to answer the question on fitment, the width would not make a difference, of course narrower would be easier to fit, but if you can fit a 9 inch 17 or 18, then you could fit a 19 with the correct offset and tire size. to explain the opposite, you can go down to a 15x7 with the wrong tire size, say a 265/60, that would not fit very good all around if at all. its not the rim size persay, its the overall diameter and the offset that make it fit.
now to answer the question on looks, well you didnt really ask that, but boy you got lots of answers.
