Ok, lets sum this up. I personally think 20's look good on the new stang, especially with the wheel gap gone. However, how much performance/braking are you trading by going with such a large wheel?

On a side note, what is the widest tire you can get on a 20x 10 rim?

I have 20's on mine, and I really cant tell the difference other than it is a bit bumpier riding.

They are ROH Drift Rs (19x9/19x10), and I got them from Group A Autosports.

IMO 20's and up are too big. 19s arent bad but I am going to go with 18x9 in the front and 18x10 out back in deep dish bullits. I think anything bigger than 18 is a waste and too much unsprung weight.

i think 20's are perfect on the new stang.... i think 19's look too small because the size of the car dwarfs them...

i wish i would have had 20's this past weekend at pocono instead of the stock 17's

do you think saleen would have really put 20's on the car if it had a big impact on performance??? i doubt it.

my vote is for 20's, although i was with another 05 this weekend with staggered 19's and it looked bad ass

you need at least 19's no smaller, i am going for 20's probably.
