Default newb question about tires and wheels

1.) what's the difference between tires and wheels? I've heard various stories.
2.) what size tire/wheel would I be able to fit on an '07 Mustang? I want to go for 20" rims but I'm not sure if it needs to be modified further for this or not.

Please answer without rudeness. Thank you.

Ryan,
We were all once newbies. Tires are the rubber and wheels/rims are the metal part.

Hey Ryan, you wont be a newbie long!!

Im rolling on 20's with 1.5 lowering springs (lowering is not necessary but it sure helps fill in the fender and make it look better).....check out the pics before and after (the before shot aint that great sorry)

How much do you want for them? Are they the "light colored" silver bullits that come with the 07's?

Yes, I was going to tell you that those are the faded looking silver bullits........we are going to ask $400 for them (wheels and tires).

Mike,
I just wanted to make sure they were the same. Do you have any pics that show the width of these tires/rims?
