Depends on what your looking for overall. Rule of thumb: 20's for show, 17's and 18's for go. The less sidewall you have, the more the shock of the launch (or the lateral forces during cornering)is transmitted to the contact patch of the tire and the more likely you are to break traction. There is a limit however and you can have too much sidewall also.

 

Thats why I want to go with 19"s right in between I know they make them for a lot of other cars but i cant find many for mustangs

 

I just put on some MSR 88R 19"s Friday...check it out. I think its the perfect compromise.

 

WhoMe......Man thats excatly what I want!!!! Where did you get those?

 

That particular wheel is from a company called MSR. A brand name that belongs to a wheel distibutor called American Eagle. I purchased the wheel from a local friend of mine who sells them. Though Im sure with some searching they can be found online. While they arent the highest quality wheel they are good and affordable.

I got the idea of running 19s from a fellow member who runs Black Falken Koblenz 19's wheels on his black GT. Here is a picture of his car. This car and picture belongs to member CainMotorsports2102

 

Here is a closer picture of my wheel. Sorry its not a full shot of the wheel; I was actually trying to take a picture of the gap between the tire and fender.

 

the new pj saleen has nice 19s on it. . .my 20s are the most goodest of all of them.. . although i'm going to use 17s or 18s cause these are just too tall. but for everyday driving they're fine. yes, a little stiffer due to the short sidewall, but doesn't bother me in the least.

another thing you could do is powdercoat the ones you've got. that would look schweet, too! or, at least I would think it's cool. . .

 

i really want some 20' saleens or cobra r's, i just wish it wouldn't kick my *** with the price

 

I went with the DD Chrome Bullits (18x9) which are back ordered from American muscle. Will post pics as soon as I get them...

 

Chrome Baby! Deep Dish on Rear!
No bigger than 18"'s, leave some meat on those tires!
