Get 18's... You don't need anything bigger on our 99-04 model cars.

Ive seen 20's on our cars, and they don't look bad by any means, but Ive heard horror storys about the rims getting bent and everything else, its just not worth it, and 18's look MUCH better than 20's on our cars.

20's are for those stupid imports... OR SUVs which they are really made for.

Jagoffs have 20's. Don't be a jagoff. do 17's or 18's. I personally am going 17's because DR's are hard to find in 18's.

They're not really HARD to find in 18's but if your going to get big tires, it looks cooler with smaller (but not too small) rims anyways. :B

I think depending on what 20in style, you could pull it off. There is plenty of wheel space under there.

A "five star" style rim would look good, but a "full face" style would look to big.

I've seen a mustang around town with 20's. It actually looks pretty crappy. I have 17's and don't want anything bigger. 18's actually look good on mustangs. I guess it depends on what kind of performance you want out of the wheels and tires. Just remember, the bigger the wheel the smaller the tires side wall. With a really really low profile tire, you can't get as much flex or twist out of the tire on take off. This usually means you will spin a lot more.

they have a few 20" wheels but why? The only way I can see 20" wheels on a mustang is... 18 in front , 20 deep dish rear and I dont even know what that outcome would look like.

I have 18x9 - 18x10 , and they are big enough.
