It's amazing what a good wheel/tire package will do for this car. It's a little too much for my tastes, but still changes the look of the car dramatically.

This car is just begging for a 10.5" rear tire, it seems.

Pretty nice setup over on Mustangworld's website.

The setup pictured is a 20"x9" wheel in the front with a 255/30zr20 Pirelli P Zero Rossos and 20"x10.5" in the rear with 285/30zr20 Rossos.

those wheels seem a little too rigid for my tastes, I think it needs a little bit of smoothness in the spokes, to flow with the car better. Other than that, nice lookin' wheels.

30 series tires.

Great for pictures, great for tracks, great for sitting at stop lights.

Wouldn't want to use them on a daily driver. Not only will they be harsh, but I'd have to worry about every little pothole in the road.

Sorry, too extreme for my '05. Looks great, though.

I've always said 20" rims on a Mustang were too big, but after seeing that, i like it!

As soon as the new 05's are on the lot, i'm going to test drive a new Black GT. If I like it, i'm trading it in and i'll prob end up doing something like that. I would even consider 20" rims if i can find something tasteful.

Agree 140% (including that 20" is a bit much). 18's or even forged 19's will be absolutely sick on this car. It just oozes muscle.

wheel size is out of proportion to the rest of the car.

Damn.Me I just love the set up. 5 spokes 20'' rims are just amazing. 20'' X 10.5'' rear and 20'' x 9'' in front is what I'm going to have to put on my Stang.
