Default The agonizing search for new wheels is OVER



Purchasing this new Mustang back in June, I knew that I would have to fit it with some custom wheels eventually. I did not realize how agonizing of a decision this would become.

However, I have reached a decision and hope they turn out well! This is just a stock photo of the wheels since they were just ordered from Carid and will take a week or so to arrive. This wait will probably be the most agonizing part!

20x9 front with 255/35 20 tires
20x10 rear with 285/30 20 tires

05 MUSTANG,
Noticed you are running 20's. Did you have any fitment issues? I just bought a set of 20's for my 05. Mickey Thompson SC5 flat black wheels with staggered 9" front/10.5 rear. Tires are MT Front 255/35R20, rear 305/35R20. Waiting on delivery of tires! Slipped rim on front last night and looked like it might be tight between tire and strut. I bought them after being told they are built to fit 2005-2014 mustangs. Any advice for this old time early model lover!

Agonizing? Really?

Definition: causing great physical or mental pain

I could understand having your skin peeled off after suffering a serious burn as agonizing.
I could understand watching a loved one dying as agonizing.
I could understand seeing your house washed down a gully after a flood ravaged area collapses as agonizing.

Picking a set of wheels for a car? Uh, no, sorry but not agonizing.

Hey man, I have had no issues at all with my rims. They were a guaranteed fitment from Carid.com.

I couldn't give any advice on any other year Mustang because I have no experience with them.
