I have some brand new20" Saleen wheels for the 06 S281. Would I need to upgrade the suspension or anything to put them on my stock mustang with the 17"s?

Don't think so

Unless the Saleen wheels have something special in the way of weighting or something you should not have to do anything to the stang to support the 20" ride. Mine has 20's and i don't need anything but blinders for the general public because they can't stop looking at it. Great choice those saleen wheels. Just keep the rubber a 35 or lower, is my only suggestion. Pics would be nice too!

Thanks for the help! Yeah they have the tires off of the Saleens the pzeros or whatever they are. Awesome wheels, great size, good condtion, but the only thing I worry about is the fact they're white and I have a torch red car. The local shop was gonna charge me $140 each to powder coat them but I dunno. I was thinking a gunmetal gray. I've seen red Cobras with the stock gray SVT wheels and they look nice. Oh and I don't want Saleen center caps. Don't have any Ford ones that fit!
