20s look awesome....the small change in ride quality and the teeny tiney lose of power are well worth it to me.....and GOSH 20s look soooo much better than18s on our cars!! I like it when people drool over my car.

I'm running 245/45 20 up front and 275/40 20 out back. I could have easily gone 285/40 with no problems. With the tall tire, you get a good ride and it fills up the wheel well without dropping it. If you are going to drop if over an 1" like you said, I'd go with some lower profile chunks.
The bigger wheels will hold you down a bit. These guys running chargers aren't going to feel it, but it is nothing a set of gears can't fix!

I think it is all just personal preference but the fact is the bigger the rim, normally there is more weight and it is also farther away from the hub. That hurts performance, does it matter? Personal choice.
IMO 18's are a little too small, and 20's are a little too big. I think 19" rims look perfect on our cars. But the choices in 19" rims and tires arent near what they are in 18's and 20's.
I have decided to go for a "sleeper" look on my car so I am going to get some DD 18" anthracite bullits and blend in.
In the end buy what you like.

Mustangs only look good w/ 20"
In fact, the best rims on these cars are 15" but they are too expensive (Bogarts).
If you like those big pimpin wheels then buy an SUV or a Dodge Charger....
Muscle cars never came with giant rims, this is just a fad.

I think everyone should just realize 19"s might just be the perfect size wheel for lowered stangs that don't have aggressive body kits
Lowered stangs with aggressive body kit= definitely 20"s.

The bigger the rims, the worse the car performs. Rotational mass eats hp.

How much HP do we really lose with 20'?
3 ponies? Well that just ruined my day.
