As long as you get tires that will give you the same as stock 25.7" tire height there won't be any difference.

And it will look better with larger rims in my opinion... as long as you DONT exceed 18"s! LOL

If they weigh more you will lose some performance. If you get a bigger rim get a smaller tire so it doesnt mess with your RPM's. I think its called plus 1 or sumntin like that.

Yeah 18 Saleens are probably the finest for the 99+ models, and with the proper tire match, you wont loose any performance, but you will gain appearance. Whatever you do, anything bigger than 18 inch rims on the stang is not cool - leave that for the ricers.

No you wont have to worry about rubbing your suspension. Just get some BF Goodrich tires (because they last longer than pirellis and nittos) that fit with your new 18 inch rims.

If you get BFG's drag radials they wont last longer than the Nitto's at all. BFG's use a soft compound rubber that stays soft with out heating. Nittos use a hard compound that you have to heat to get soft. The Nitto's will last much longer.
