Normally, i hate 20" rims on a MUstang. However, this month, BFG has it's new ad out in mags such as 5.0, MM&FF and i even saw it in Stuff.

Anyway, i kinda like it!!

20" rims and lowered

Looks like we'll be seeing a lot of mustangs with 20s. That looks great.

How much more rotational mass does that add? Hopefully, not enough to shoot the car's handling characteristics straight to hell... 'cause I do like the clean, muscular look of those wheels...

I agree...those dont look like 20's. anything bigger then an 18" on smaller cars like this look VERY bad. I would think with 20's the car wouldnt even really need to be lowered, it would look even more like a 4x4. I like the look of those though if hey are indeed 20".

Does it say anywhere on teh ad that we cant see that those are actually 20's?

Eh...the 18s are perfect the 20s I don't really care for. Save them for trucks and SUVs.

I'm looking at the ad that's in Stuff right now and it clearly says "2005 Mustang GT shown on 20" g-Force tires".

You can't look at a dang magazine article and tell what size wheels are on a car. Get real guys. If the add says 20's, then you pretty much have to take it for what it's worth.

I wonder how much the GT-R wheel & tire setup will cost. Definitely something I'd look into buying.

My 05' will definately have 20's

But I had 20's on my 99 for a while there too.

When done correctly, they look unbelievably good.

Sorry guys, the ads in MM&FF, 5.0 and Stuff say on them "2005 Mustang GT shown on 20" BFG tires blah blah blah"

They look 20" to me. At least they fill out the wheel well very nicely. Ever since '99, all mustangs with 17's just look tiny inside there.

looks like 19 and 20" rims on Mustangs will be a common thing to see

If those are 20's, it looks damn good, big wheels means big brakes
