That is truly one of the BEST looking BLACK GT Mustangs that I have ever seen. the 20 inch rims look great. Also love your wing. What is the wing called and were can I get one. Your car is super clean. Wheels can really make a car look bad or look great 20,s and even 22,s work on a Mustang and you can see that with your black GT....

2014 DIB 3.7 w/ sport shift "Blue Cyclone"
Please, no 19s or 20s. Someone is going to chime in here and say "but I have them and like them and here's why" and that's all well and good, but I still think they look bad. It's totally up to you. No, they will NOT fill the wheel well better, the overall diameter is the same. Stick with 18s. If you're having trouble hooking up, a thinner sidewall isn't going to help anyways. I've always liked wheels from American Racing, they all have a nice old school look. I do love my Forgestars and know a few friends who also own them on a variety of cars and love them as well.

To each his own but 2013 and 2014 Roush Stage 3 has 20 inch wheels and it looks great even the right 22,s look good. Everyone does not won`t to race there mustang some of us just like to look good and ride but I understand that you like 18 on yours....

I have the OEM 19s and am due for new shoes and am having difficulty finding something that I like, in stock, at a fair price, and is NOT a PZero Nero A/S.

That is something else I've considered. Can they change the offset of the wheels while they are widening them?

I've found these also.
MMD Kage Wheels in a staggered 19 - 8.5/10 setup.
Why do I like them?
1. I really like polished wheels for several reasons. (and they aren't chrome)
2. After staring at tons of pictures, I almost feel as if 20's are too big on the front of the car and 18's are too small on the back. I think the 19s can be an acceptable compromise between wheel size and sidewall height.
3. According to AMAlexLazarus, they weigh in at 26.8 and 28.3 lbs front/back. I'd be satisfied with these because my budget is forcing me to pick either lightweight wheels or wheels that look good. Not both.
The one concern I have is the the +45 offset. From what I've read online, 40 is the way to go on a 10" wheel in order to be flush with the fender. Would the +45 be too tucked in? I'd imagine I'll be running either a 285/35 or a 295/35 in the back?

It's only 5mm. I don't think that would be that noticeable.
