Default 20 rear 18 frpnt ??

I have 18's all around my stang but thanks to a lot construction in the area the rims on my passenger side of the car are really worn and hazed (cant be cleaned) I was wondering since ill be replacing them about throwing 20's in the back has anyone done this or does anyone have pictures?? I would do a 19 but AM doesn't make them...

doesn't look good, seen it done, and they regretted it.

18" max. And if you have construction/road issues, even 18" are pushing it, no way I'd go bigger.

thanks for the input does anyone have a picture of a setup like this so I can be the judge??

I'm also considering maybe 18's on back with 17's up front but I had a 17 inch rim I put up to get an idea and it looked like and the 17 looked tiny =/

anyway pictures of either setup would be appreciated

AM only has a 17x10.5 deep dish which wont work for me on the front and I cant seem to locate anything smaller then on the other site for the front I would be looking for a 17x8 deep dish front if I was to go that route I think the small lips with a deep dish on the back will look a little funny

i seen that done DD rears and regular fronts, it looked good but it may also have to do with the color of the vehicle.

Is the extra two and a half inches in width not what Deep Dish is for?..
And isn't there someone around here with DD all around? Why wouldn't the 10.5 work for you in the front?
